Secure #bike storage is a growing obstacle to #cycling as a popular mode of commuting
“It’s real failure of provision, and one that’s costing the city journeys every single day. If #London is serious about getting more people on #bikes, secure, trusted parking at #transport hubs has to be a key part of that”
#cyclists preferring to store the #bike in their ‘main living space’ … driven by the rising popularity of #ebikes which require more space to store” https://road.cc/news/bike-storage-obstacles -

Police departments around the country are increasingly finding themselves in a difficult position when it comes to illegal electric motorbike riders tearing through neighborhoods, parks, and bike trails. In one Colorado town, officials are now trying a new strategy after struggling to catch many of the riders themselves: asking residents to help identify them.
🔗 After cops failed to catch hooligan bike riders, state asks locals for help | Electrek
Ugh kind of hate that they're lumping all e-bikes in with these assholes. These are the people who ride ATVs and dirt bikes on city streets.
My e-bike is a bicycle and I ride it like a bicycle.
I've felt for a while that police need some sort of enduro squad to chase these people. Or how about some damn drones to follow them home and shit. -

And the car propaganda keeps undermining the adoption of ebikes--"but the children! who'll think of the children?"
Meanwhile, cars kill exponentially more people, both pedestrians and cyclists. But hey, that's just the cost of existing alongside cars, right? No need to enforce existing laws there.

Looks like we'll need an MOT on ebikes, lest they explode into flames and kill a house full of people.
Or maybe better batteries that don't explode, there are alternatives to lithium, aren't there?https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/may/11/uk-firefighters-lithium-ion-battery-fires-ebikes

I LOVE #ebikes & every time I see some yahoo going WAY TOO FAST on em I have the exact same thought: YOU’re why we can’t have nice things. Someone like YOU’s gonna mow down a flock of kids or a gaggle of grandmas & it’ll be The Great E-bike Terror of 2026™️ all because you have a child’s self control

(cont.) With a Class 2 e-bike, you can use max pedal assist to move through that risk period as quickly as possible. My Townie will do 28 mph in 8th at max assist. That gives me more options for managing risk than either of my non-e bikes.
- At the same time, that's a lot of zip for a bicycle, and I wonder whether kids, say under 16, have the judgment to use it wisely. I see kids zipping around the neighborhood on e-bikes. Be careful!

Further thoughts about e-bikes:
- The amazing & really useful thing about an e-bike has to do with overtaking. On a bicycle, you're constantly being overtaken by cars, sometimes rudely and & unsafely.
Yet sometimes, due to the nature of the road or the usability of the shoulder, you *have to* occupy the lane. Now, from the cars' POV, you're blocking traffic. They can't overtake, and they'll get mad. This puts you at real risk, so you need to do it judiciously.
