Yikes, I never knew any of these problems existed. I live in the opposite kind of area. Hardly any bikers and I wish it was more bike focused.
Other than dealing with weather I still think I’d rather commute by bike because it has a lot of positives. The ebike thing though is a bit crazy, I feel like those should be more considered like mopeds or motorcycles and not use bike lanes. They can be quite dangerous.
I used to bike to work in Louisiana. No bike lanes anywhere but my route was relatively free of car traffic. The problem was the unchained dogs that would come after me from time to time.
yeah well it’s been very successful in expanding bike commuting, but success just brings more problems.
like i don’t commute by car because it was slow and miserable. how they have made commuting by bike slow and miserable because they added so much bullshit too it and too many people do it now.
but hey at least the subway got upgraded so it’s now faster than taking a bike.
My least favorite part about riding on bike trails is le peloton – the mass of riders all gabbing with each other and not paying the slightest bit of attention to what’s right in front of them and crowding up to take over the entire lane. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been literally run off the trail by this shit.

So you need to buy gas to ride your bike, hah
This frustrates me so much. Fence your yard or keep control of your damn dog.

I make anpoint of slamming on the brakes and skidding and stopping right in front of them. Wake up, assholes!
