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.

Ha.

When either of them goes for a weigh-in at the doctor’s office they see the tiny metal sign on the special scale:

Hold livestock firmly. Not responsible for injuries.

And the restaurant is not responsible for choking hazard of cat claws in the chicken meals. Court case settled it.

Employee rushed into the kitchen at the Chinese restaurant.
Called out for Moo Shu but the cats thought he was “shooing” them so they all ran out the back door.
The next day’s Chicken lunch special had to be canceled.

When they sold us the bill of goods on “bike lanes,” this was never included. Why not allow motorcycles, too? More lying government weaselment.

Any mention in the article regarding what the bikes will deliver and by whom?

Are you kidding? General Tso’s chicken is cooked in a spicy bean sauce. It’s one of my favorites!

Sorry, I confused it with Chinese chicken in orange sauce.

Those e-delivery vehicles that don’t burst into flames will be quickly stolen, vandalized or hijacked by 13 year olds.
