minus-squaremoral_imperative@beehaw.orgtoFuck Cars@lemmy.ml•The 'New York Times' attacks e-bikes while ignoring the real danger all around uslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYou’re so close, bud. Most ebikes have a top speed of 20mph and weigh less than a motorcycle (and MUCH LESS than a car,) so your first paragraph is BS. 2nd paragraph - right on. It’s almost like cars are big heavy death machines that are dangerous, even FATAL, at high speeds. Motorcycles cost more, are heavier, and move much faster than ebikes. They’re absolutely more dangerous than an ebike. Give ebikes their own infrastructure and do urban planning that reduces the speed and danger levels of large, fast-moving vehicles. linkfedilink
