Are you sure you want replies?
Personally, I think far too many people have their noses where they don't belong, i.e. in other people's business. Sure, the actions of others affect everyone else as freedom demands nothing less. As long as no direct, immediate threat to life results from one's actions, live and let live. Freedom means the willingness to accept risk. Rather than state coercion or force, education is the best tool for changing perspectives and actions. It's encouraging to see your changing perspective. True, ICE's are relatively noisy, etc. Let innovation in technology and the market drive the changes. Lastly, let's encourage personal responsibility without using the force of the state. IMO, there should be a sub-section on assisted bicycles which are non-electric.
