[quote=Anonymous]The protected bike lane along Irving is very nice. I take my two kids on e-bike to school which we lotteried into. Pros: - Much faster and more reliable than any other mode of transit - Easy to park anywhere - Easy to carry large amounts of kid stuff - I am less tired from having to make the trip 4 times a day! Cons: - Traffic, cars, bikes, pedestrians it really feels like no one follows the rules - Construction - there is nearly always some form of construction blocking part of the way that lasts years - Safety, I do feel like it comes with a much higher likelihood of an accident - Repairs, these are inevitable and a pain with an ebike. We ride pretty much in all weather. I invested in good rain and snow clothes. Occasionally we take the bus when the bike is broken or it is too icy. I use side streets, protected bike lanes when possible and I tend to ride a low speeds without much assist even though I could go much faster.[/quote]
