Bikes: This list got too long: several ‘bents, an urban utility e-bike, and a dahon D7 that my daughter has absconded with.

I live completely car-free. This has been made possible by a combination of my e-bike for commuting, and some errands, and conventional bikes for other uses.

Clearly you haven't even bothered to read my posts in this very thread. I have already stated issues related to my disability and some of the ways that Cerebral Palsy has impacted my life. Further, I have mentioned that I use my e-bike extensively for commuting, and some errands.

I understand, that for some, cycling is an expression of machismo. For me, and my disabled wife who also lives car-free, they provide transportation and pleasure.

I have already posted these things in this thread. Frankly, your rages has led you to the sin of falsehood. Frankly, your posts are filled with hate and lies. You insult people on this forum with the claim that we are somehow "not worthy."

We have already conceded that you are the most macho person here. Undoubtedly you have the biggest p****. The name you have chosen for yourself makes it clear that you are The Big Man. We give you all that credit.

What we will not do, as you can see, is change our ways because of your rage. I will not start driving a car because you say I am not worthy of bicycling. I will even be courteous to fellow cyclists, even when they are on e-bikes (and I saw one on the MUP today).I will also not take upon myself the presumption of knowledge, which is nothing but hubris, and waste my time judging others to determine their "worthiness."

I will also continue with my solar assisted touring trike project. I have a trip planned that is simply more than I can ride without pain, not exhaustion, pain; when you grow up you will know the difference. Why not ride a motorcycle? I have had motorcycles and I can tell you that it is a different experience. I am glad that I had those motor-vehicles; but that is not what I want at this point. Possibly in your world I am not worthy of touring. Frankly, I have a low opinion of the persona you are presenting here too.

Here are some other pictures of an e-bike:
