E-Bikes

For the record: I know a bunch of people who ride regular bikes and fewer people who ride motorcyles. The e-bikes really seem to be the worst of both worlds-- and also seem to attract people who are terrible drivers.

Because even the most foolhardy among the regular bicyclists I have met would know better than to try to weave through multiple lanes of traffic going the wrong way.

(This complaint brought to you by a narrowly-avoided head-on collision with an e-bike.)

Yikes!

Yeah, e-bikes are definitely an enabling technology, but uh... sometimes I wish I could choose *who* was being enabled. :-P
