You can get fucked up on a bicycle or skateboard too: Should they be forced to get plates?
Because the weight and speed are so comparable...?
Yes
Are you trolling or being serious?
I'd take being hit by a kid on a skateboard over one on an e-bike any day... but you do you
Bike registration is already required in a lot of places.
Yes. Including passing a hard civics test, no retries. And keep them off the fucking sidewalks.
Maybe give them a fucking safe, usable bike path?
Well, yes, obviously. But if there isn't one they stay out of the city, with the rest of the dangerous machinery, not on the sidewalk with the civilised people.
Unhinged response.
No. I don’t think so.
You can get fucked up walking. You can get fucked up standing still. You can get fucked up while asleep in your bed.
The difference is the risk of getting fucked up, being fucked up by someone else and the amount of fucking up a given tier of activity presents.
I think its fine to have a difference for emoto vs ebike vs moped, but lumping electric bicycles in general with them is bullshit.
