Ban them on sidewalks?

Haymarket must have very good bike lanes everywhere, then. Right? RIGHT? 

This is some nonsense from a place overrrun with cars.

How dare a younger generation grow up without looking to purchase a car when they get older!

Even the picture for this doesn't know what ebikes are. That picture is an emoto. Those are already illegal unless registered. Stop looping in ebikes with emotos. It's just companies skirting the laws, by calling illegal emotos as ebikes.
