what-about-ism doesn't persuade me at all, just because cars are dangerous and obnoxious doesn't justify the poor behaviors and culture around bicycles in the city. An "e-bike" that is going 25mph and running red lights without anyone doing any pedaling at all is a motorcycle end of story and they should be banned or require a license. |

Not whataboutism to compare the substitute folks would turn to if we banned bike lanes as you suggest, but whatever. Two pedestrians died due to bike collisions in 2021. How many emissions did New York City bikers collectively save us that year?

We don’t ticket motorcycles for running red lights either! You’re upset about traffic enforcement. Not any particular mode. If anything, that you’re noticing the bikes while remaining alive says something about their relative safety.
