Not making things up. I guess here in Los Angeles they are more popular. And becoming more popular since the Gov. changed the law to make it legal to ride an electric motor bike on the bike paths. I have never seen an e bike on the road. I only encounter them on my commute which includes about 14 miles of bike path where they must feel more safe (and make me feel less safe). I hope these folks have a non-catastrophic and enlightening moment that informs them that their riding habits are dangerous and consequently they modify their behavior.
