    Number plates are adding a road block to a vehicle that is better for society than a car.

    We need more ebikes, not less.

    Put a bike lane next to the ped zone.

      I’m talking about reckless bikers racing through the intended safe space for pedestrians. Bikers who ignore the network of bike lanes and even bike roads that have been reserved specially for them that completely surrounds the pedestrian zone.

        What network of bike lanes and bike roads?? Sure, there are SOME bike lanes, but where we are, most roads don’t have them and sometimes you gotta get in with the cars or on the sidewalk.

        Oh and it’s technically illegal to ride on the sidewalk. We do it anyway because going with the cars is pretty unsafe when you can only go 15mph at best.

          There actually is a network of bike lanes and bike roads. It is still faster for the bikers to just race through the pedestrian zone. And woe to those who don’t jump out of the food couriers way.

          And while you complain about the dangers of the road for cyclists, you endanger pedestrians in the same way.

      I don’t consider class III e-bikes ridden in an unsafe manner “better for society.”
