"A third obvious solution is to give the youth some place to act out that doesn’t annoy the oldth. I agree with this, but I believe the whole point of most youth acting out is to annoy the oldth, so good luck with that." 🤣

E-Bikes: Convenience, Annoyance, or Menace?

Are E-Bikes a Convenience, an Annoyance, or a Menace? Yes, yes they are. The answer depends on your point-of-view. If you are a e-bike user, such as a commuter, recreational traveler, or deliverista, it must be a convenience (otherwise why do it). If you are the consumer of warmed over restaurant meals delivered by e-bikes, you probably agree. But, if you are not, the answer is less clear.
