I love how snarky that news segment is

So infuriating. At the very least they could have moved the bike lane inside the parked cars.

While I story of understand you anger, as there are some fools out there that are using their illegal ebikes effectively as motorcycles on bike paths and sidewalks, they are:

  1. In the vast minority
  2. On a 60lb vehicle, instead of a 3000lb vehicle, and can do far less damage as a result.

If you're going to get angry, get angry at cars, car-centric infrastructure, and the fact that people on ebikes don't have the proper cycling infrastructure to stay separated from pedestrians.

It's like they put in so many roads to get "there" that "there" doesn't exist anymore.

I have a seriously hard time believing there's anyone dumb enough to buy that

You're far more patient than I ever could be. Good one you. It's conversations like these that change people's minds. If not OC, than those less stubborn who read the interaction.

Every capitalist "free" market has rules. There is no such thing as a perfectly free market, nor should there be, unless we want a system closer to feudalism than a democracy.

Congrats!! That's some seriously quick progression, great job!

How's it feel knowing your car fucks more than you do?

Good on them. I don't have the appetite for risk right now to do this type of activism, as I have a family to think about, but I wish I had done more in my 20s (I did some but didn't raise enough hell), and I intend to do a shitload more after I retire, if we're all still around.

I'll take "last organisms standing on earth" for 100 , Alex.
