Well written, Create a national mandatory training program for anyone purchasing a Class 1, 2, or 3 bike and the parent or guardian of anyone under the age of 16 operating a micromobility devise. Helmets mandatory for riders under the age of 16. To many kids killed and inured for life and the numbers are just going to go up. Again well written and timely. Thanks!
I thought I was too old and too out of shape for a regular bike so I bought an e-bike for myself and my wife to get outside and get more active. We both loved it so much that we then went on an e-bike cycling vacation. Fast forward a year and now we both ride pedal bikes and our e-bikes are collecting dust and I’ve rode multiple 100+ rides and I’m training for a 2600 mile race! E-bikes can be a gateway to better health and fitness!
Many important points to consider. I wanted to get an e-bike to make cycling eaiser for this 80 year old. I am aware enough that I could have done a careful job ... but my instinct kept pointing our the pit falls which would most likely end up with me in the hospital or dead. Easy deccision. NO E-BIKE FOR ME! Thanks. Fondly, Michael

Thanks for this, Tom! I like your comment that bike shops can help educate.
