whatever is the politically correct term for "what the fucking fuck". If you're proposing specific terms for laws about shit, words and numbers mean things etc

“This proposal reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of Class 3 e-bikes and their users.”

also this ableist BS: “I’m really most concerned with the full throttle bike, where you have no requirement to do any type of physical assist,” Prozanski said. “Why would we be allowing a fully motorized, non human assist bike to utilize those paths?”

"courtesy" 🙄

also if you were doing a stupid lawmaker phrases drinking game, here is "I have friends who have e-bikes" 🤣

As the pedestrian lay almost dying on the way to the almost hospital, he demanded to know whether the cyclist that almost hit him had put in a good honest sweaty effort or was just using a motor. #microFiction

@enobacon

I'm not optimistic enough, to start that conversation 🤔

@enobacon The best part is that this is a fundamental misunderstanding of how these kinds of regulations work. The law would only be selectively enforced at best. Does he think PPB is going to run stings on the Springwater? The behavior the senator is angry about will not change because jerks will continue to be jerks. It will literally only discourage the behavior we want to see.

@enobacon Meanwhile, in DC, there are people riding scooters and (I recently saw) an internal combustion retrofitted bicycle on our bike paths.

There will always be assholes. Build more bike paths to spread them out more.

If bikes were far more common then it wouldn't be a stretch to see enforcement occur. But until then...

Though I have no idea how people would cycle with the icy crap we've had on roads and paths lately. I'm stuck not using my bike for the foreseeable.

@elight to get people out of their cars, transportation departments need to prioritize maintenance of a usable network 24 x 365.25-ish. I've seen some say Minneapolis does well, maybe there are other good north american examples which prove that our particular snowflakes are not special enough to require cars. #BikeTooter

@enobacon Bike trails maintained during winter. Yup. If I had that here, I'd be cycling year round. I even geared up for the cold this year only to find the paths near me get no winter maintenance.

@enobacon @elight where I live, Dayton, OH, they clean the leaves off the paths in the fall, which is much appreciated, especially after rain, but do nothing for the snow in the winter.

@enobacon @elight Edmonton tries. Kinda suckily compared to many European places but it's definitely used, including by me.

What's interesting to me is that clearing of recreational paths in parks seems uncontroversial but carbrains rage hard once they notice a bike lane running along a road getting plowed.

@enobacon Petition for making full throttle vehicles illegal. Only vehicles with a sincere effort towards human power as a primary motive force should be allowed on the roads.
