If that what it takes to get these sedentary brutes onto a bike, then let them ride their electric bikes on roads and not on bike paths. There are a few motorized bikes riding around the east side and, like all motorists, they are not careful and ride way too close to bikes they pass. Admittedly, my n is pretty small, but I resent these lazy assholes being on the bike paths. And it's bogus to say these are for sedentary folks. By far, the most people who use them will be former bicyclists.

My trial occurred more than three months after the city council unanimously approved the "Pollinator Protection Task Force" report which seeks to protect pollinators--bees, butterflies, moths, bats, hummingbirds, etc., and preserve pollinator habitat But the city's Building Inspection Division didn't get the "memo" and continues to order pollinator habitat removed and prosecutes people who don't comply.
