The sooner we internalize that most e-bike riders as who they likely are, which is someone who would almost certainly otherwise be driving, the sooner the all powerful bike lobby will reach the bike singularity.
Even if some did switch from acoustic to e-bike that just means they’ll use it more!
Sometimes I'm commuting and some person on an e-bike passes me and will sheepishly apologize for "cheating" and I'm like, look around, we are surrounded by a crawling ocean of miserable people driving short distances in 5000 pound SUVs, you are winning not cheating.
