Today, while out running errands on my hybrid, I saw an e-motorbike (this style) using the bike lane (dude also had a motorcycle helmet on).
Personally, I think these people should stay on the road like other motorbikes, as it’s clear that these are supposed to be an electric analog to ICE powered bikes.
I called this person out as well, due to my position being they actually are more of a hazard to other cyclists and pedestrians when the lanes switch to MUP’s without warning. Especially where they would be heavier than even e-bikes and would cause anyone they hit more damage than they would receive.
Bike pedalled by who? Honestly, as a daily user of bike lanes, the spandex clad Lance Armstrong’s are by far the fucking worst.
Really? In my area, they go fast, but they’re usually considerate. They usually call out when they’re passing, maintain the 3’/1m rule, etc. I find they’re generally far more knowledgeable about etiquette and the rules of the road than your average ebikes rider who doesn’t pedal and cruises at top speed while also passing close.
… Yes?
