Not my cup off tea for me, but choices are a good thing. What about 1,000 cars off the road? Don't like the rules? Change them or move to the EU, where they are very popular these days. And maybe try some decafe.
We are talking about using leg-assisted motor bikes for touring, not fetching groceries. Western civilization can probably survive using motor bikes for beer runs.
