Adults are just kids who have bigger numbers in their age.

Actual E-bikes are not a problem, throttles on e-mopeds and motorcycles, yes, but most people know that and certainly people going fast but that is anyone on anything. Unfortunately like most journalists and politicians they really don't understand the issue. This one sounds like they had been possibly nearly hit by a motorcycle which is not a bicycle and has no pedals and does not belong on shared paths. However because it was electric they lumped it in with e-bikes because they simply didn't understand and they want to make it easy and promote an agenda. That is wrong in so many ways and promotes bad journalism and further hatred of actual e-bikes because they get lumped with the throttled stuff.

However in the end the humans that are the real problem, we as humans pilot these vehicles, build and sell these vehicles and we teach these other humans how to go about the world or not go about the world. If everyone would just act as if there are other people around and we have to all get along, we might just make it.
