the real competition for bike paths will be for normal unpowered bikes and slow pedal-assist ebikes competing with fast throttle "ebikes" and electric scooters/mopeds.
The fast bikes are still not fast enough and safe enough to ride with cars, but too fast for regular bike paths, so what will give?
- giraffe_lady 5y agoThe role those fill isn't that different from scooters, which are common in a lot of places. The traditional solution is to let them crowd the road, slowing car traffic and incentivizing using more scooters and other vehicles better able to navigate the congestion. I am genuinely sincerely in favor of this. It's inelegant but effective. Driving a car should be more frustrating and uncomfortable than it currently is in the US. Giving slight advantages to slower, non-car road traffic can improve safety and increase the costs of driving over other options, which is long term good.
