Honestly a great take. While i generally doesn't mind throttle-only use of an ebike, some of these machine is just way too fast, to the point people are starting to look at ebike like they look at car.

Did you even watch the video? He even addressed the point about which you're asking. Repeatedly.

Yeah so, I don't think you know what I was referring to since he mentioned it offhandedly. You may not even have noticed him saying it. It's his need to include it and the seeming lack of reponse by anyone that I find puzzling.

I'm referring to him saying emotional support animals don't belong in restaurants, by the way.

Wait your comment was about a small part of the video unconnected to the main point. You gotta mention that if you expect people to not assume its about comments that would fit with your comment that is about the main point of the video. Its unreasonable to expect otherwise.

I thought saying it's 'out of left field' and hard to notice would clue people in, hoping from a response from people who had also already taken notice. I didn't want to start a discussion on emotional support animals, just on why people don't seem to take notice of something like that being said.

Out of left field just says the abilism comment came out of no where but not that its not on topic so its completely natural to assume you are talking about the role of electric bikes in folks with less mobility. Which honestly just causes the person to sorta wonder about you because. out of left field? with electric bikes and mobility? I mean once you specifically mentioned the animals it became clear but the initial comment is just one of those things that because you noticed it and thought about it you noticed it but because you were not specific people thought you were talking about something different.

Yeah that seems to be the case, you're right.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
