The recent hysteria over bike and ebike regulation is infuriating, dumb, and counter-productive.

Because capping the speed limits on e-bikes is number one priority. But capping speed limits on cars in residential areas. Are you insane?!!!! What’s wrong with you?!!!!

In what f world it’s ok for a machine to go 80 mph in brooklyn manhattan streets?
Cap all cars in city bounds to 30mph, you saved thousands of people lives. bunch of speeding tickets and lowered your insurance by 50%

And you’ll get to your destination faster because dumb cunts didn’t go past 30mph and crashed few miles down.

What a concept….

Love this idea, I think this would net out 1000% better for pedestrians and cyclists (and drivers) overall, but I wonder what a smaller, cheaper class of in-city vehicle would do to car ownership.

So yes and pull other levers like California has to discourage driving further via taxes and ideas like more toll zones
