More barriers to cycling means more cars which means more dead cyclists. Help us defeat this terrible anti-safety bill.

The whole argument OK is making is that such a “class 3 electric bicycle” should be treated like a totally normal bike, because it’s somehow, magically not much faster and much heavier than normal bikes as everyone is totally driving at 30mph in regular bike commute…
Which indeed is wrong and a pile of shit argument.
I never said that an 28mph ebike is legally a motorcycle. I argued that a “class 3 electric vehicle” with the weight and speed of a moped (just electric) should be treated as one and not as a bike. And since that statement OP tries to convince me how 28mph is a total normal everyday thing in casual biking even for unfit people. As someone actually commuting by bike daily… that’s insane.
You clearly aren’t arguing in good faith here and I’m not going to entertain any more of your bullshit. Have a nice day!
Says the guy who is either lying or has never actually commuted by bike… because no, you don’t regularly do 30mph, and if you’d do everyone else on an urban bike lane becomes an obstacle.
