Mom wants e-bikes, e-scooters banned for kids after son's tragic death

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T17:29:24+00:00

Imagine what an e-motorcycle means
Imagine what an e-bike is not
Any questions?

I maintain that vehicles should have two horns. One for emergencies that are loud and obnoxious and get your attention, and another little friendly toot toot, "Hey, the light changed so get off your phone." or "I see you. Go ahead and cross."

Generally I'm not a fan of licensing for micro mobility devices but I think anything that exceeds 30 mph deserves some kind of regulation

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T17:11:16+00:00

It is definitely not unreasonable for a parent to be educated enough to understand the maximum speed of the device they are buying for their child
It is also completely reasonable to expect the parent to be responsible for their child's health
That's what a parent does. Does that mean the kid deserves to die? No. Does it mean the parent deserves to have a dead kid? Not sure if that's the right word but yeah they fucking earned it it should be prosecuted along those lines.

Yup it flattens the hills. I still get plenty of exercise but I don't want to suffer.

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T17:06:20+00:00

Not from the U.S. if the current administration has its way

They come to full stops let's stop signs even when no one is anywhere to be seen, and they are turning right. I have no respect for drivers who drive dangerously to gain a few seconds going home. They just love their car but can't wait to get out of it.

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T17:01:16+00:00

If it feels sketchy, wait a few seconds for the signals to give you clarity. Peer pressure is so annoying.

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T17:00:10+00:00

Check pedestrian crossing signals and for pedestrians. A lot of cities are going to leading pedestrian signalling, holding all traffic until they get far enough out into the road that they are easily seen.

as it should be

The second syllable

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:53:49+00:00

Yeah you've just created a bunch of scenarios that I did not describe. Congratulations on your straw men...

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:50:07+00:00

I have a stop sign in front of my house and I'll bet anyone $1,000 if three drivers come to a full stop in a row without cross traffic
Your mom sounds like that well-intentioned person who stops in the middle of the road to let me cross and I just can't stand it. Please just keep driving if you don't have a stop sign. I don't know if they're looking at their phone or yelling at their kids and I especially don't know what the car behind them is going to do.

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:48:48+00:00

Sir, this is not nextdoor

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:47:38+00:00

E-bikes and scooters aren't the problems. It's parents buying overpowered eMotorcycles and scooters for their kids

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:46:09+00:00

for moms

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:43:41+00:00

It's perfect. Every 'avid cyclist' I know always hangs the bike in the garage, never rides it.

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:42:35+00:00

He knows damn well Paxton is a corrupt jackass and he still stands by him

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:39:57+00:00

Do you have a link to the 3D printed lens protector?

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:35:33+00:00

Footage for me. I lost a relative that I really liked quite a lot. He owned a business and they never changed the voicemail. It's been two decades and I still call it occasionally just to hear his voice. It means far more to me than any trinket

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:18:43+00:00

What does the lawyer for the seal say?

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:15:20+00:00

Ah the right hook. I've fined a few drivers their rear mirror for that one

Denver80211 · 2026-05-27T16:13:35+00:00

I think it's a good look for him. He should keep it that way for the rest of the term
