I have to disagree with you about 'no rules' bikes. It is scary riding a bike on the UK's roads. Car drivers have much more power and acceleration than the old days and there are many more cars, vans and trucks on the roads. Jumping a red light, say, to get ahead of the traffic - when there is no inconvenience to pedestrians - to me is fair enough. Car drivers never leave space inside of them, so you need to weave into the middle of the lane or wait behind them and breathe their exhaust fumes. Why shouldn't you then get ahead? Moreover, nobody thinks about cyclists when they devise one-way systems and the like. Instead of laying a simple cycleway through a town centre, planners oblige you to complete a mile long circuit or break the law by cycling in a pedestrianised zone. So different from other more enlightened countries.What’s going on in particular on western roads is crazy with too many young adults and maybe kids believing they own the roads on these new forms of transportation. Moreover I see it spilling over into regular bikes who seem to be duplicating the so called “e-bike no rules” Philosophy.
Riding a bike is terrifying and I daren't let my daughter cycle on the roads, even though she's 16. She just doesn't have the road sense I do.
I'm also a car driver who commutes (to another town) every day btw, but I cycle when I possibly can.
As for e-bikes, they should definitely be banned from parks. They're no different from motorbikes essentially. Sooner or later an old lady's gonna get wiped out and killed walking her spaniel and then they'll have to act,
