This morning's commute and other commuting stories

But joking aside, I expect that rather than cause a scandal (which probably would happen if there was a tragic death related to their use), there are probably already plenty of people lobbying for a lifting of the legal limitations on e-bikes, as they hope this would accelerate sales (which, unlike in Germany and the Netherlands, have never yet taken off here). After all, it is a motorised mode, quite fast, and 'sustainable', with an emerging industry attached to it. I expect that if all that happened, helmets would become compulsory for e-bikes, though.

I think they just annoy me as they're lazy cheats who can't be bothered to get fit and ride a bike properly or pass a test, get insurance etc and be in some vague sense responsible like an actual motorbike rider. It's only a matter of time before one of them has a nasty crash.
