Well I have actually talked to some ebike riders and amongst them have been:
people with long commutes
people with chronic pain
people recovering from accidents
and yes people who can’t drive because they have DUIs. Alcoholics need to get places too.
Hey and maybe they are lazier than people riding bikes but they are not lazier than the 75% Americans who will drive 4 blocks rather than walk. It can be a transition to a more active life. People have a right to be lazy.. it’s 🇺🇸! They do not have a right to endanger other people by riding too fast for conditions. So maybe save your judgements?
