talking to eBikers is like talking to Trump supports...

 


Harley Davidson motorcycle in the 1920's
please not the pedals
it is not the pedals that make it a bicycle
it is the motor that makes it a motorcycle

eBikes have motors
yet somehow the battery part seems to block people's brains from understanding
when you put a motor on a bicycle... it becomes a motorcycle
no matter the power

a BB gun does not become a bow and arrow because of its lack of power
a BB gun is a type of gun

eBikes are types of motorcycle
not types of bicycles
well... motorized bicycles
but no one calls motorized bicycles motorized bicycles
people call them motorcycles

so often I hear the phrase..,
eBikes get more people on bikes
which is not true
eBikes get more people on eBikes
and more than likely get people off bikes

the eBike is an excellent car alternative
the eBike is a sad bicycle alternative

eBikers are fine... I have always been in support of alternative forms of transportation
I see the eBike as a two wheeled golf cart

the streets are not mobbed with eBikes
and well

it is Frogger 2023 and I just have to deal with it
