That attitude really is disgusting when viewed in the context of all the parents who've been able to ditch their SUVs for electric assist cargo bikes (most notably, the popular Radwagon is advertised and sold as Class 2).
Go tell them that their e-bikes aren't bicycles and to fly a kite. See how far it gets you.
Speaking of cargo bikes, they also move stuff other than kids too, often times with much more ease than the average Stupid Unnecessary Vehicle. I rage against any "utility" vehicle that cannot easily accept a 4' x 8' sheet-'o-something in the back.
It may not be an analog bit of C&V, but if it gets more people out on bikes and appreciating this lovely and scalable form of transportation, I'm all for it.
