Popular among teenagers, the large electric bikes have triggered ‘numerous complaints’ to councils as fears grow for the safety of riders and pedestrians

    I think you missed my point. The joke is the idea that one asshole driver spoils the ability to drive for anyone else, shitting on the statement “Don’t ride like an asshole or you might get ebikes banned in your area”. Replace with “Don’t drive like an asshole or you might get cars banned in your area” with the same logic. Would never happen, because fuck this system and our infrastructure strictly designed to benefit oil companies.

      Oh I got your point, which exactly leads to the fact that it would just become another enterprise to capitalise on, instead of banning anything, using shitty behaviour as an excuse to do so.

      Edit; i.e. if you wanna ride a bike, well us politicians have decided that you need to do xyz first, but don’t worry, my buddy offers x, my 2nd cousin does y and my wife actually has offers on z ATM. Don’t look at us, it’s because Billy over there didn’t have his helmet on last year cu he’s an asshole.
