...my old man took me aside one day just after I started high school and told me," We can't afford to send you to college, so if you really want to go, try to work hard and do well in school. It's already costing us some money just to send you to Catholic high school." Worked for me. You could try that.

But the point is that guys of different abilities could all ride together. I think that would be neat.
...I see e-bikes in the bike lanes here regularly, and even out on the MUP, where they are prohibited. They are universally owned and ridden here by guys with little experience on a bike, even less road savvy, and they regularly do insanely dangerous maneuvers when I see them. That's my experience with them.

...yeah, kinda. The guy with a cane on the back of his e-bike, who maneuvered around and passed me accelerating from about 20mph was pretty old though.
