I think this is a disingenuous description of "provide a valuable service that many people appreciate".
I also don't see why speed-limited e-bikes shouldn't be on bike paths, unless you're living in an area where they are unthrottled or have a ridiculously high limit.
- mulmen 5y agoHere in Seattle people park them inconsiderately. Like block the entire path with the bike sideways inconsiderately. They’re a nuisance. The city actually marked off some specific parking areas and is asking the ride share companies to require drop off in those areas. It got that bad. I regularly see bike shares and scooter shares blocking curb ramps in crosswalks. Good luck to anyone in a wheelchair. E-bikes might provide some value but proponents and users are ignoring the negative externalities to existing cyclists and pedestrians. It will get better but we need to educate people on how to use these things responsibly.
