E-Bikes are replacing cars, not bicycles, a study from Germany shows:
"43.1% of electric bicycle trips and 63.2% of electric bicycle mileage would have been undertaken using a car if no e-bike had been available" https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15568318.2025.2533307
“I just keep my eyes open” is the same argument that car drivers use to say that all cyclists are just the worst and don’t adhere to any traffic rules while completely ignoring car driver’s infractions, especially those that have been normalized (like speeding)
@Takios I question the motorization of bicycles with engines that dwarf the performance and endurance of highly trained athletes, and in your view, that is equivalent to high-powered car drivers who get upset about real or imagined traffic violations by non-motorized cyclists?

Bizarre.
