#Police definitely need better education and #testing procedures when checking #ebikes and this is quite a blunder on their part - but as an early adopter of e-bikes (from 18 years ago) I feel UK traffic authorities, #cyclling industry (and even the cycling community) sat on their arses and did nothing when they were harder to obtain premium priced items, less common on streets and even the faster ones were in the hands of middle class older white guys.

Now various bikes including those pushing boundaries of what is legal on the roads, and some which *are* blatantly illegal are affordable to food delivery riders (and general "roadman" lads who might be up to no good), and more folk from ethnic minorities there's a moral panic about these machines (on top of valid #RoadSafety concerns)

@ascentale @bikemonterey #bikenite A7. New York City NYC (at least Manhattan) was amazing for #cyclling . There were dedicated lanes, integrated traffic signals specifically for cyclists, and some real awareness of cyclists by drivers. Maybe the enormous number of cycling delivery drivers had something to do with this. #cyclng
