The ebike class 1/2/3 concept is stupid puritan nonsense driven by cyclist jealousy and serves only to limit the usefulness of ebikes as car replacements.

      I know right? Heaven forbid I care one tiny ounce about my safety and the safety of others on the road. Your PERSONAL FREEDUMB is more important than that isn't it libertarian-alert

          That literally isn't true. In fact I would argue the opposite; if less people feel safe taking other modes of transit because of e bikers flying around being dickbags, wouldn't you agree that drives people towards cars? The safer and easier and more accessible non-car infrastructure is for everyone in all modes of transit the more likely people will choose a non car mode of transit. That's just common sense. You're not doing the service to bike infrastructure that you think you are

            Cars are the biggest impediment to bicycle adoption by far. Get this through your head. There are no roving gangs of ebikers attacking other cyclists.

              Only one thing can be true at a time and I only have the capacity in my brain to care about literally one issue at a time regardless of how valid other issues are

                Ebikes and cars are not even on the same order of magnitude of danger to cyclists. Get out of here with this false equivalency.

                Do you really think ebikers are out here trying to ram as many people as possible? You cannot ram someone on a 2-wheeler, you will eat shit.
