that is how much I hate eBikes...

okay... I do not hate them
I just do not want them around me
sure I understand that the eBike is a car alternative
but... I do not think that motorized vehicles should be on the bike paths or in the bike lanes
eBikes are motorized vehicles

sure... get you "car-turnative"
but... stay off the sidewalks... keep it on the street
do not ride it like a man powered machine
drive it like a motorized vehicle
