We need to invest in bike infrastructure.

EDIT:

I think Australia should be considering a pathway to licensing and regulation for these e-motorbikes. A course to learn the laws, roadworthy rules, registration, vehicle lights (indicators, tail, stop, front, high beam), minimum helmet requirements, etc.

Used appropriately, they’re great devices.

Probably more importantly, develop actual micro-mobility infrastructure to allow any gross vehicle mass under ~200kg it’s own proper “roads” where they’re not interacting with cars or pedestrians, esp trucks, kids and dogs.

Currently bikes are mostly forced to deal with one or the other, which draws ire from the public because of the general fuck anyone who affects me in any negative manner attitude we seem to have fostered about transit.
