MODERATORS
This politician is a jackass, but I do wish there was a bit more bylaw enforcement being directed at e-bikes and scooters. I can't count the times I've almost been smoked by one on the goddamn sidewalk, or been sideswiped by what is essentially a silent motorcycle in a bicycle lane. Especially dangerous when they're so favored by delivery app couriers who are also incentivized to rush at high speeds.
We have them. The bike route I take to work in Vancouver has a concrete barrier, but it doesn't stop ebike riders from silently sneaking up and nearly knocking me off my bike, and it doesn't stop the uber eats guys driving on the sidewalk to their pickup locations. I agree infrastructure is important, but the enforcement for public safety is severely lacking.
You're not in Queens?
Okay?
I would have upvoted if you'd stopped there instead of being an "almost been smoked" apologist for them.
