#WorkZoneWTF#BarburBlvd + the 2nd and 3rd time passing this same bus since the bottom of the hill. We really need our #transportation agencies to do better for people on #eBikes, but what is it going to take? Is that a memo from the governor/mayor and they'll start actually caring, or we just delete ODOT/PBOT and start fresh with safety-by-design as an operations culture? #ClimateEmergency vs institutional delay excuses etc 🙄 but all I see is stalling and a #Portland for #Cars1stAlwaysOnly.
The moral panic about #eBikes needs to result in mandatory helmet laws for all car occupants, especially #EVs
(yet another NYT article about people getting hit with cars, and blaming anything but cars)
The SW Ridge Dr hill south of Stanley Ct, 80-ish lb kid, #superCargo with 350W #HillTopper front hub motor. I think I was distracted talking about the motor and probably could have mashed the throttle more in the flat spot between these two lumps. #eBikes
#Luna sells some special #ebikes and motos, and the Ludi X2, which bridges the two, might be the best example of that. They took the Class 3 500W-rated #Bafang M600 Motor that advertises 120Nm of torque and are pumping more than quadruple rated power through there, sometimes up to 2500W.
what's with the #eBike obsessed bot/"Name12345" accounts on the bird site lately? A bunch of them had the same cleavage-laden profile pics and links to "dating" sites, but some are just faceless and very into e-bikes?
