Gross response and I disagree.

Still infuriating, I’m not sure why you made this comment.

…mildly?

I’ve had gator but not iguana. What’s it taste like? Chickeny?

Bullshit, that’s a terminator! I’ve seen the footage.

With ease! Parent your kids everyone!

You really can make it illegal if there’s the political will to do so, but it’s a hot potato, so the likelihood of of the practice being formally reigned in is unlikely. You make fruit of the poisonous tree absolute and create laws that make illegal search or seizure kill investigations without the possibility of future charges for a given criminal act.

Obviously that would also have practical drawbacks as well, but it is certainly legally possible.

It definitely is a legally acceptable practice in the US, but I can’t speak to other countries.

Yes but that doesn’t answer the question of whether it’s an accepted practice in the EU. I’m also not so sure it isn’t somehow codified into law, in the US there’s precedents supporting it but IDK about other countries.

I know what it is, but that doesn’t mean it’s an accepted practice in the EU. I don;t really know much about how their law works, which is why I asked about it.

You are on a public forum, just like reddit. Anyone and everyone can read what you wrote, why would you think otherwise?

Does Dutch/EU law have that?

That’s pretty close to my average speed and I’m just a commuter on a 30lb hardtail MTB with shitty infrastructure. I’d wager anyone who can ride a bike can easily go faster than that on a flat, even if they weren’t a regular rider.

Fitted road bike? I do it regularly on a 3x7 hardtail MTB loaded down with pannier bags and a frame bag. That’s not downhill, that’s on a flat. I am just an ordinary bike commuter too, not an athlete and I have a low end steel Trek meant for single track MTB riding. It weighs at least 30 lbs with all my stuff on it.

I think you are overestimating how hard it is to go fast with little to no training and the right gear, even someone who doesn’t ride regularly could probably hit 20 on a flat if they tried. Downhill you can hit 35mph+ even if you aren’t in shape and barely know how to ride.

If it goes faster than 28 mph, has a motor more powerful than 1000w, or lacks usable pedals, it’s not an e-bike at all. People riding these things get people who ride actual electric bicycles fucked over though, which is unfortunate because electric assisted bicycles open up a lot of opportunities for people who are elderly or have other physical disabilities.

I am all for making e-moto and e-bikes legally distinct but punishing cyclists because of e-moto bullshit is a stupid decision. Also, parents who buy their kids motorcycles with no training, safety gear, or evaluation of their child’s judgement should be held accountable instead of the people who are just trying to get to work on an e-bike.

You can go 25mph and faster on a bicycle no problem, I reject the argument that e-bikes (not e-moto) are a significant danger. That’s mostly cabrain propaganda that people who chose to stop thinking accept.

Kilrathi guts pilot

Kid me: D:

AI isn’t replacing shit, it’s just another excuse for corpo scumbags to fire people for profit.

That is probably the actual answer though lol

Bike paths please.
