The stoopid is painful.
Anyone saying the smog is terrible today never grew up in the 60s in Southern California!!!

I’m mad. Where’s my grift?!
Common sense is not too common.
Most e-bike components and batteries are made in China. Many e-bikes too.
Same for NH.
Bikes are only feasible for cities.
Ignoring them is a good indication that the democrats are not really interested in green anything, but only about control.
Isn't an electric bike just another type of motorcycle?
Too hot, but looks like a great place to ride, nice rollers. 25 miles is a good distance, especially if there’s a good ice cream shop or cold beer in town.
It doesn’t make sense if you think of it trying to save energy. It’s just a ploy to separate you from your money.
Surfboards and hang gliders are emission-free too. When do I get my subsidy? I’m so mad I might not vote Democrat next time. Of course somebody else will for me.
Bikes are a net pollutant!
Because people are going to ride bikes to work in 100 degree , 95+ humidity weather.
Going to need a lot of showers for washing up before seeing customers.
But as a form of commuting they should be discouraged.
If it wasn't for companies building showers, who would want to work with someone who had just ridden miles to work on a bike?
Why would there need to be federal legislation on this? If you want to ride a bicycle, ride a bicycle.
Or is such legislation designed to fund such projects as I have seen in Hammond, Indiana? The city has reduced some four-lane streets to two-lane, using the right lanes for elaborately -painted bike lanes. I am on those streets often and have never seen a bicylist. They have also made bike paths, complete with overpasses, which are also lightly-used.
Remember those rare clear days in the 60’s when you looked inland and wow! The mountains are right there!
Bastards! My ebike is pretty cool, take it camping to ride the state and local parks bike trails.
Do you people really want the same transportation infrastructure as downtown Shanghai?
I rode a bike a lot in Florida. No hills.
