On some things the UK is progressive, on other issues, like sustainable transport, they see it as antisocial behaviour.

You can’t get car insurance on a bike but you can still ride it in the street????

Of course e-bikes etc shouldn’t be on sidewalks or bike paths, but it should be fine for them to be in the street. That’s absurd.

E-bikes definitely belong in bike lanes. It's only electric motorcycles that belong on the road. The difference is size and top speed.

[-] Bye@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

E-bikes are electric motorcycles, there’s no difference without some top speed enforcement mechanism.

Literally what I just said. The top speed of pedal assisted bikes is mostly just 15 mph. That's bike lane speed.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
