Yeah that’s kinda my point. A class 3, while more powerful than you need on trails/paths, is really helpful when riding with traffic. As long as you are respectful with speed when sharing space with other bikes and pedestrians it’s fine.

My only advice is check the local used market. I have found e-bikes are something wealthy people sometimes buy and rarely use. Within a year or two these bikes can be found for a significant discount. My current bike was $3800 new and cost me $1000 with only 15 miles on the odometer.

I have owned class 1,2, and 3 cargo bikes. Currently ride a class 1. While class 3 is generally overkill, depending on your situation there are times when the 25 mph capability on a class 3 is helpful (If you need to ride with traffic often). For trails and sidewalks 25 is way too fast.

"In their seminal book Life After Cars, journalists Aaron Naparstek, Doug Gordon and Sarah Goodyear write that the noise, pollution, and epidemic of violent death brought to our streets by cars have become so ubiquitous that we no longer even notice them."

Opinion: Cars are the biggest threat on the road, not kids on e-scooters
All the outrage we feel about teens weaving on e-bikes and scooters would be better spent figuring out how to keep massive motorized vehicles away from all other road users

Shocking.
NTSB graph showing the relationship between miles biked per person per year and cyclists killed per billion miles biked. There's an obvious negative trend (people bike more in place where it's safer to do so.

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.

My 15 year old wanted to hang with some friends yesterday. The first friend lives like 7 miles away. He needed to get from there to another friend 8 miles away. After that he needed to get home which was 5 miles from friend #2. His ebike made it all doable without someone needing to drive him.

This is similar to responses I get when I suggest eating less meat. You picture your plate as it currently is and just remove the meat. When the suggestion of biking is made, you think of your current life and remove the car. Obviously “bikes” includes the large infra. shifts that make it possible.

Well, I got caught in a downpour on my bike last night. Didn’t have my rain pants (because I’m a dummy) and I got DRENCHED. I walked into the library soaked from the waist down. Here’s the thing. It was fine… fun even. We avoid mild discomfort to the point where we forget it can be invigorating!

Recently did a tour of CU in Boulder with my daughter. They basically said, don’t bring a car, there is no place to park. You can get anywhere you need with a bike and or the bus. It was awesome.

It’s pretty damn simple. EVERYONE makes mistakes while driving. We are human. Making a mistake while driving a tank is way more dangerous than when not driving a tank. Therefore, if you choose to drive a tank you are a fucking douchebag.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement.
Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

My only thought is, whatever you are looking to buy, spend some time on the used marketplaces first. I’ve found, with a little patience, I can almost always find what I’m looking for. Kids stuff especially. Kids grow out of things so fast so there are mountains of really nice kids items available

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

This is the wrong lesson and the wrong take. The popularity should be a massive signal to municipalities that people are desperate for car alternatives. They should be carving out safe spaces for these bikes (away from cars) to make it easier and safer for people to leave the car at home.

>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape. What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.
