Yet another "tax" and "think of the children". However, you should have to pedal your ass when you are a kid. Its good for you. Not just drive a e-scooter that looks sort of like a bike.

From the post:

>If state lawmakers have their way, you’ll have to get a license plate for your e-bike, and if you’re planning to buy one next year, it’ll be slower. Amid growing concerns about e-bike safety, particularly among children in Bay Area suburbs, two bills introduced this year aim to make it easier to ticket riders and reduce the top speed of some models. AB 1942 would require certain e-bikes to be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles and display license plates, and AB 1557 would slow e-bikes that children are allowed to operate.

I live in a little tiny community and ride a bike daily. One day I saw some pretentious cow sitting on her new buff e-bike.

The world loves a consumer

Every time I see one of them I think about /s/fatpeoplehate.

Bitch. Just because you are on a 'bike' doesn't mean you put in effort if it was doing the work for you.

Go feel smug and die at 40 because you couldn't put down the fork. But please, post pics online about you "riding your bike" and getting "exercise".
