    Oooh, they are SO close to figuring it out. It involves narrowing the roads, putting in a barrier-separated lane with traffic signals for bikes, and a wider walkway for pedestrians. All the puzzle pieces are there, lol.

      These bikes make me feel unsafe! They should ride on the road where they will feel unsafe.

      To be fair we have pretty much all of that in the Netherlands and Fat bikes are still a pretty big issue

        It always seemed weird to me that it’s such a problem over there. I ride an electric fatbike in the US sometimes but I make a point not to ride like an asshole, most other riders seem to be reasonably courteous on paths and streets.
