    Ebikes are a huge story here in LA. The amount of backlash against these bikes is insane, it’s being treated like the next opium addiction. The FUNNIEST thing is more pedestrians and kids are STILL killed by cars. However if you turned the news on it would seem that ebikes are killing kids and pedestrians in a record number.

        Another issue is unsupervised children than can actually explore their neighborhood! No! Kids don’t deserve freedom like that in the USA!!! IT’S TOO DANGEROUS STAY INDOORS AT ALL TIMES
