I made the same point here

On age gating, while the zero knowledge basis for the MyGov.ie author service helps, it still creates a link on one or other side between the SM account and the MyGov user. This means no more anonymous use of SM for those who don't have the privilege of free speech, no more whistle-blowing accounts.

Like a fifteen year old boy who found his dad's porn collection - next level immaturity

Hilarious, truly. And still claiming the "I'm a cyclist" points.

You hate people using ebikes and rant against cycle lanes for no reason, but I'm the one with the agenda? Take a long hard look in the mirror bro.

Their lazy asses will be noticeably lighter when they get cycling.

I would advise caution. I switched to driving for a few days and came out of work to a note on my windscreen threatening me with rape

And how do you get to the trail?

So what? There's still a bunch of people for whom cycling is a reasonable option. Ebikes extend the possible range for cyclists significantly. What specific problems do the bike lanes cause for you?

You started out talking about the danger of ebikes, while you go out of your way to minimise talk of the dangers of motorists, the ones who routinely kill and injure pedestrians. Try following the data instead of relying on your personal anecdotes.

It's the same here, lots of people have long commutes from regional towns 20 or 50 or 100km each way. And some people have commutes in cycling distance, 5 or 10 or maybe 20 km on an ebike. Why do you hate people who choose a different mode of transport to your choice?

Sorry to hear, hope you're remaining camera got him. Don't forget to report the theft of your camera in addition to the assault.
