The problem with ebikes/scooters in NYC is that I no longer feel safe on sidewalks. 5 years ago, I always felt safe on sidewalks but would always cross roads carefully (I have a rule about never looking at my phone when walking across a road). But now on sidewalks e-bikes will zoom past me from behind at fast speeds startling me. I fucking hate it. I can no longer walk in peace in the city anymore.
