Why would an ebiker doing 25 mph need a different helmet than a lycra doing 25 mph? What's the mystical magic?

You can replace the soft saddle with a firm saddle and a suspension seat post.

A 40 lb bike with 200W motor is a moped but a 60 lb bike with 750W motor is a bicycle. Still stupid and illogical.

You obviously don't at all get the point with these new laws which is that only e-bikes are dangerous to pedestrians, not motorless bikes.

Who're ya calling an idiot? Don't you know that it's absolutely no problem doing that as long as the bike doesn't have even the tiniest motor, or (THE HORROR!) a throttle!

Are we talking about transubstantiation now...?

The pedestrian does not get hurt because the bike running them over at 30 mph has no throttle. Ok then.

Motorless bikes also share paths with them. Why are they allowed to go faster than e-bikes? If a lycra runs into a pedestrian at 30 mph, does the pedestrian not get hurt?

No thanks, too dull and practical, not enough style. It should have at least something like a really sharp vertical fin sticking up from that seat which now just looks like you could almost sit on it.

Possibly Ergon grips and hacksaw, see Any ergo grips for Dash? Unlike most cheap ergo grips, these have a stabilizing hard plastic core and the locking ring only on the outside, so shortening them like that is no problem.

The other day I was riding home from work when I heard a twig get stuck in a tire again but it fell off after a second or two before I had time to stop. I have tire liners and everything seemed fine until the next morning when the tire was flat. Ok, slow leak then. Drive to work that day in the...

It's pretty obvious. It should be just as obvious that it has nothing whatsoever to do with whether the bike is e or not.

Here we go again, a 200W 40lb bike with a throttle is a "moped" but a 750W 60lb bike without a throttle is a bicycle. That sure is some "common sense". :confused:

A somewhat related IGG rant: http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/22/8643453/indiegogo-flexible-funding-sucks

Why would the pool do that and why would someone defend them doing that and support laws that mandate all pools doing that? Just to be aholes and beat down on those who can't swim very well yet and make sure they never get a chance to learn, to reserve all pools to those who "deserve" to enjoy...

Careful with making that kind of admissions publicly, you could be charged with theft. :-)

I don't have a clue. I think I'll need to ask Captain Obvious.

Even more humorous and much more analogous to the ebike debate: what if you can swim? Should you demand that nobody in the pool is allowed to use floating devices?

Would the spirit of niceness allow pointing out that major straw man? "Offering a throttle" != "demanding that all e-bikes have a throttle".

Nope, just occasionally about 25 mph. But if lycras are allowed to go out on the road with cars at 30 -40 mph, so should ebikes be. I never really got the whole "if I personally don't care for it, it should be illegal" thing. I'm more into "logic, consistency and fairness" type stuff.
