E-bikes are bicycles with an electric motor. Sometimes they break or run out of power, then they are just exceptionally heavy bicycles. If the motor is of sufficient power, they can reach speeds and carry loads that render their use on a MUP dangerous.

I guess you don't like e-bikes. <shrug> I doubt the people (more and more everyday) care what you think about it.
Woosh!!!!!! Get someone to explain the joke to you.

And no, I don't even know what "the arrogance of personal viewpoints applied generally" is supposed to mean. I said you were arrogant when you told me how I'd feel about a prison sentence if a loved one of mine was hit by a truck, a rhetorical ploy that is odious on multiple levels.

Now you're speaking for "the people (more and more everyday)" ?! Your buffoonish tantrums are hilarious!

And just to be clear, I have seen two incidents of clearly overpowered/very heavy ebikes on one of the busiest MUPs in the nation. I've also seen hundreds of normally powered ones there. Please note that I have never complained about the normal ones.
