Yeah but why? Why hassle these guys so much? The delivery bikers take cars off the streets, they are serving people who are willingly paying, and an e-bike is less likely to kill a pedestrian. From the POV of fire and police, it’s much harder to commit crimes on e-bikes, and in absolute numbers I’m confident the fire department responds more frequently to incidents with cars. It seems like a win win for everyone in the community.
I understand why it’s a culture war. It violates beliefs. But is there truly any rational basis? I understand the aesthetics of a delivery biker violating a traffic law for cars looks bad, that it pisses people off. But brother… it’s an urban environment: it’s going to be chock full of shit that pisses you off. Why this?
