[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering lately, as I have witnessed so many parents with their toddlers on their electric bikes driving in rush hour how it is any different than having them on a motorcycle? At least on a motorcycle, people wear more than a bike helmet?[/quote]
It drives me nuts that parents will - 
not drink coffee while pregnant
or eat cold cuts
or sushi
or drink
and make sure their breastmilk is filter from forever plastics 
will get the uber expensive crib that monitors breathing
But have no problem with their toddler being on an ebike

There's a simple explanation. It's performative, not safety, behaviors. [/quote]

Yes. What all the thinks PP lists have in common with riding around with your kids on an cargo e-bike is that they are all things UMC people can do to project that they are educated, left leaning, urban, and cosmopolitan.

I say this as an educated, left-leaning, city person. There are also other reasons to do all of those things, but there is an inherent hypocrisy that a lot of my peers ignore because living a certain lifestyle/projecting a certain images matters more to them than adhering to any actual values system or even logic.[/quote]
