As someone forced to ride my bike right next to thundering trucks and cars on the roads every day, I can't begin to enumerate how many close calls I've had because there are no bike lanes here. (lemmy.world)

Fuck your existing lanes and fuck your 1.5-tonne beasts. Make some space, it won't fucking kill you.

I’m not sure what part of that is considered “lashing out.”

You misrepresented what I said while simultaneously calling it "problematic". I'm not new to leftist circles, I know exactly what "problematic" means.

And, yes, granted, health insurance in the US sucks. That doesn't make a Canta more expensive than modifying a car to be used with a wheelchair or such. If you can't afford a bike lane solution you sure as fuck can't afford a highway solution.

Your issue is not with e-bikes, it's not with bike lanes, it's not with light vehicles or powered wheelchairs, it's not with what I actually said, it's with the US. Then go ahead and call the US problematic.
