Ebikes are a huge story here in LA. The amount of backlash against these bikes is insane, it's being treated like the next opium addiction. The FUNNIEST thing is more pedestrians and kids are STILL killed by cars. However if you turned the news on it would seem that ebikes are killing kids and pedestrians in a record number.

Cheap personal transport that doesn't need a licence and doesn't burn gasoline? What sort of unamerican communism is this?

Another issue is unsupervised children than can actually explore their neighborhood! No! Kids don't deserve freedom like that in the USA!!! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS STAY INDOORS AT ALL TIMES

Once they start using the DEI bike lanes, soon they'll start thinking minorities deserve rights!

They might end up in the wrong neighborhood and see the effects of inequality first hand!
