[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The glee of the anti-bike advocates on here over the death of the cyclist on Penn Ave is really quite sickening.

That said, I have long had issues with how some people ride e-bikes in DC. They are heavy, they are fast, and too often they are ridden in places they shouldn’t be - such as sidewalks. I could easily see my kid being killed by someone riding an e-bike too fast on a sidewalk.

E-bikes absolutely should be prohibited on sidewalks every where in the city and MPD should be empowered to seize e-bikes ridden on sidewalks. And helmets should probably be mandatory for e-bike riders. But we also need more bike lanes to get e-bike riders off the sidewalk.[/quote]

As you see, the weirdos here glom on to a new supposedly irrefutable truth about how bikes are terrible every 5 mins. Yesterday it was to claim that curbs are against Original Vision Zero. Today is is some weird thing about how we don’t care enough about a dead e-biker? [/quote]
Since you love to talk about safety and even use the “fear” of safety even if many view individual fears as an unreasonable basis for public policy. The fact that you don’t care about a dead cyclist - judging by the fact that only people against bike lanes on Connecticut Ave have mentioned it - raises eyebrows. Why shouldn’t it?[/quote]
