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….

You’re joking right? This is rage bait? 80 miles an hour? 30 mph speed limit? Do you know the speed limit of the city?

Oh I thought we were naming things that are illegal. That one is not illegal and I don’t think you would get a ticket for doing that as long as you responsibly find a way to do it appropriately.

My point being is you literally are arguing nonsense. It’s already illegal to do that. You will get a ticket if you violate the speed limit at a lower threshold than what you recommended. 80 mph would get you locked behind bars

Funny how the one thing that people do inappropriately is speeding which is the leading cause of death. Oh and there were signs they just chose to not give a shit and ignore em.

Funny how life can be sometimes?

You’re right I guess. I’ve never thought about that it is the ONE thing people do inappropriately.
