You are in a position to demand nothing, sir.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@ZigZagWanderer0 @benjyminty @willnorman If you can't do 20mph on a regular bike why should you be allowed to do it on an ebike?

There is a discipline and responsibility that comes with the ability to ride quickly. And that's something that most ebike riders don't have.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@ZigZagWanderer0 @willnorman That's a backwards way of looking at it.

Reduce the speeds of drivers or ban them from roads altogether if you want safe infrastructure.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@Ingleton_ian @willnorman What about drivers?

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@Jbambury0 @awjre @luton_paul @willnorman Yep. Ebikes are already putting people in danger due to being ridden by idiots who will insist on riding at max speed all the time.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@awjre @luton_paul @willnorman Using ableism for your own agenda is a huge red flag.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@awjre @willnorman Using disabled people as a reason to change overall legislation is short sighted and disingenuous.

Disabled people can have exemptions for mobility purposes. Regular ebike shouldn't even be as powerful as they are.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@JamesHSBrown @willnorman Nobody needs to go 20mph on a bicycle.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@CBikeLondon @willnorman But it won't do that, it will open up for those people who want to ride faster. Cutoffs are easily overidden.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@Outdoorbrit1 @willnorman @RantyHighwayman Just a get a motorbike then.

A bicycle shouldn't need to compete with drivers.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@willnorman Ban them. People don't need cars or ebikes in towns and cities.

If somebody is frail or weak they can be am exception but for everybody else it's time to stop the arms race.

Ebikes certainly have no place on your average bike lane.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@APPGCW Ban them.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@E9Princess @ghq2001 No, what they need is investment and support from a government that's more interested in selling public land to overseas developers than ensuring that small business don't get priced out of their premises with astronomical rent hikes.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@ghq2001 Based on your comments I don't think you are.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

Tax dodging.

Not that that isn't what a lot of companies do. Especially in fledgling industries.

Cargo bike delivery company Pedal Me goes into administration

@OMearaShaun @JamesNonchalant @APPGCW @KineticsGlasgow Yep this is how most businesses are in the UK.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@APPGCW It was never sustainable as long as it's still cheaper to book a courier in a van.

Good proof of concept though.

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@gazza_d @BromptonBicycle Looks like a plastic bearing cover. Is the bearing still in place?

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

@100Climbs There won't be any independents left soon. Everybody will be forced to take their di2 bikes to Kwik fit...

[Khan Noonien Singh @Slayerbike]

Here's somebody desperately trying to claim that cycling isn't on the rise despite there being a clear and huge increase in cycling.

...because local businesses are suffering due to overseas internet sales.

[Psychopomp @ghq2001]

Cycling in London is booming.

@ghq2001 @pedrinho_uk You think progress only goes in one direction and have no idea how reality works haha
