On any given day for the last three years I see dozens of e-bikes
operating on bike paths and trails. Many are large, heavy cargo bikes
carrying parents and kids speeding along at sub 20 mph speeds. I've yet
to see, read about or hear about any accident, let alone death caused by
an e-bike rider. So, John Wagnitz I'm going to posit that your claim is
mostly hyperbole.

John, I'd happily take you up on the bet! $100 that there won't be a
fatality on the bike path in Madison that involves someone on an
e-bike before the end of July 2019. Maybe we can get another bikie as
a bookie and referee. And so that we don't run afoul of any gambling
regulations, you can send the $100 as a donation to Madison Bikes if I
win.
Best,
Harald.

The offenders are not riding B-Cycles but seem to all be riding
“bikes” with the Copenhagen wheel. I’m pretty sure they are
breaking the speed limit.
The State Legislature gave local governments the power to regulate
these “bikes.”
I hope any local officials reading this post will do something
before somebody gets seriously injured, or killed.
