A cool thing to ask someone who tells you that e-bikes are cheating is, "Cheating at what?" They usually don't have an answer.

person on a time trial bike in black "E-bikes are cheating," says man wearing a space helmet whose bike and components are made of ultralight materials designed by NASA and aerodynamically tested in wind tunnels for F1 racecars.

Imagine going to a riding stable and choosing between two horses. One is a beautiful American paint that’s cuddly, forward moving, and reads its riders. The other horse is plastic and on wheels yet the trainer is trying to convince you that riding those horses is the same experience.

This is AI.

Picture of an ebike

"Ebikes are insanely great technology. Cheap, rugged and reliable, they're basically bicycles that abolish hills. Once you've gotten accustomed to an ebike ..you'll never go back."
The mileage is great: 625 km per $1 (390 miles).

Pros: Reduces fatalities Reduces injuries More people biking Less pollution Economic boost Less congestion Healthier population Kids biking/rolling to school Safer sidewalks Helps address the climate emergency Increase active transportation More inclusive spaces Cons: A driver might get mad If only the pros outweighed the cons.

Yet for most municipalities the "Cons" outweigh the "Pros"!

A Bosch e-bike display screen: 0 km/hr, 14000km, two bars of battery, and a headlamp icon.

I hit 14000 kilometres tonight, riding around the vast and empty parking lots of my local community college.

Canada Post is underfunded by 6.1 billion dollars is the way the goddamn garbage mainstream media needs to start reporting on this

The Canadian military posted a $22 billion loss.

If it doesn’t start turning a profit, we’re going to have to privatize it. Oh, wait…

PS: How much money do we think NSCC could make by selling off a couple of those part-time car storage surfaces to developers?! It’s gotta be more than what they make in parking fees, right? Or maybe just build some student housing there?!

IF YOU BUILD A BIKE LANE THAT DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANOTHER BIKE LANE THEN YOU DIDN'T BUILD A BIKE LANE

“An understanding Kent hears from those she represents all the time about road safety. "I know people want us as a municipality to make the streets safer. There's only so much we can do, and that people have to take responsibility for their own driving habits."

I really feel for Becky Kent. This shouldn’t have happened to her, her feelings are valid, and I think she handled it well

But!

No, the answer is not hoping & wishing that all drivers will suddenly start behaving responsibly. The answer is engineering safer streets, combined with more enforcement

Isleville and Russell. Isleville and Stanley (a total joke).

Halifax, where I live, has perfected the art of useless raised crosswalks.

Low-profile crosswalks don't slow cars. They are a professional cop-out. Design should direct driver behavior, not depend on goodwill. This entire approach prioritizes vehicular flow over human life, but looks good in photos.

The engineers knew exactly what they were doing with this incompetence...

Further proof of the dumbing-down of truck buyers.
