"Regulations that require licenses or insurance for e-bikes would eliminate biking as a mobility option for us as low-vision non-drivers, and for many other non-drivers as well."
Excited to be part of the upcoming @bikemn.bsky.social E-Bike Policy Summit and to share this piece on @streets.mn!

you can surf the net *and* order a slice! (the first time I ordered pizza online was at a small lan party with friends. when we opened the box a bunch of the cheese was stuck to the top and pulled off the pizza. I said it was "packet loss" and my nerd friends laughed.)

This is a big part of why I got an Urban Arrow when I moved to my current place. Just seeing that it's possible makes such a difference!

I haven't seen many bakfiets-style cargo bikes around, but Firth & Wilson Transport Cycles sells a couple models (mostly Riese & Mueller)

People regularly ask me how much my ebike cost us and when I say 2500$, they explain how expensive and unaffordable it is, then drive off in their 80k$ truck.
