My only problem with ebikes is there’s no chance in hell I’m consistently driving on the road with cars.

With how convenient these are, I hope there’s more push to add protected bike lanes in road heavy places to increase adoption.

Get an electric scooter, Vespa size. It’s super convenient.

To clarify - I’m not going on the road in anything but a car

Protected lanes or paths only for me on any form of bike/scooter

So you are afraid of cars so you take your own car… I fully understand that but it is all the problem.

We have to constantly remind drivers that road are for everyone, and not only to go full speed.

Here they painted bikes on roads and put speed limit at 30kmh so it is better, drivers seems more conscious, but we still see too much distracted people that don’t realize they can easily kill someone just by not looking constantly at the road.

I work remote now, but my last job was only 20mins away, but I pretty much had to use the highway. Other routes just made the trip too long, so I can’t even imagine commuting in a bike to that job.

Looks like your problem is not with ebikes, but your city’s infrastructure.

It is, and we have some of the best in the country at that. It’s just takes a long time to make a place meant for cars into meant for bikes

We aren’t no Netherlands.
