Concerned New Yorkers and industry leaders are warning that the giant “green” delivery e-bikes currently being planned by the city’s Department of Transportation (DOT) will kill cyclists and crowd bike lanes.
“If this passes, there is no doubt this will end in dead cyclists,” community member Joel Gelb warned at a public hearing last week regarding New York City’s DOT proposal, according to a report by W42ST.
In an effort to cut carbon emissions, the NYC’s DOT is planning to bring 500-pound, four-wheeled cargo bikes — that can be up to 48 inches wide and will have a maximum speed of 20 miles per hour — to the city’s streets.

Four wheels does not a bike make. It’s an electric car without the cage.

What is the weight to the pavements with Chris Christie giving a ride to Stacey Abrams after both finished an All You Can Eat Buffet supper?
>Four wheels does not a bike make. It’s an electric car without the cage.
Quads (ATVs) are also referred to as “bikes” although I doubt these things could negotiate a golf course.
All to get yr Thai and Chinese takeout delivered before it goes lukewarm and turns too goopy and disgusting to eat. Especially yer General Tso’s chicken, poisonous chicken lumps in an orange mystery sauce.
It has 4 wheels, takes up most of the lane & shouldn’t be treated as a bike.
It also appears to be more brown than green. 😉

“People Will D I E !”
That sounds like something Nancy Pelosi would say to any proposal approved by Donald Trump.
Or..
If somebody said, they are done worrying about Pronoun usage.
Thank you, grammarly. lol
“It has 4 wheels, takes up most of the lane & shouldn’t be treated as a bike.”
It’s NYC. Bikes Don’t use the bike lane.
They are? You know, I suspected my Webster's dictionary was out of date when I heard people on the television speaking gobbledygook. ;-)
“If this passes, there is no doubt this will end in dead cyclists,”
And the Right always complains there is no good news !
>They are?
Yep. Just go into a Polaris dealer. My head twisted too when I first heard it.
Not by anybody I know. Off-road bikers hate the things for what they do to what used to be solely bike trails.
“These stupid e-bikes are a easy target to get robbed. Idiots”
No easier than a large Amazon van and it doesn’t block car traffic lanes.
I’m torn here...
