Not related to that, but around here we're starting to see idiots posting e-bike rides to normal bike Strava with silly KOM's. And some have a power meter somehow on it showing next to zero watts. I'm guessing if that gets to be big, it'll ruin Strava segments for good.

Also, folks are getting super bored. Some guys who ride the in-town weeknight ride and ride pretty well put up some new super stupid segments through my part of town recently. Both through lights. I know those dudes, and know those lights. That light don't change unless a car trips it from the neighborhood, and no car is there 99.9999999% of the time you go through there. I'm ignoring it all.
When my kid was a minor, if he posted those things, well, he didn't. Please to say he mostly does not now. The eBikes are a much bigger safety issue locally (Beach connecting the OC to San Diego) and esp. with the surf boards.
Legislation is coming and I expect they will not like it.
