Not only a man of science—a man of hope. Software primate and UI designer at the Toyota Research Institute. I fight for the users. More fox than hedgehog.
I’m also fine with the wealthy just leaving, for the record

Oh no! I’d wondered what happened … alas.

Cars are still a million times worse, of course. There’s no comparison.

Honestly I think we cyclists are judged even harder because we’re visibly people (to pedestrians, not sure wtf drivers think) whereas cars are anonymous machines.

I still leave 3ft for pedestrians tho.

Agreed to both you and Peter. I do think even well-meaning cyclists should be giving pedestrians more space, though … I’ve watched my riding friends treat people on foot like slalom cones and I’m just … wow.

I’ve been on the receiving end too and it’s not pleasant, even though I’m used to bikes.

Lots of Copenhagen wheels?

How did those things ever stay true?

I kind of dug the idea tho

If you want a faster ebike, get an e-motorcycle with a license plate and get licensed for road use. Maximal acceptance is going to be a demonstration of Gresham's Law: bad bikes will drive out good bikes (or all bikes).
