In nyc, the bike lanes are a fucking mess. Motorcycles, scooters (like, the full sized, not much smaller than the one OP is talking about), suped up e-bikes…it really pisses me off. Because, yeah, I use my tiny little foldable e-bike that goes no more than 12mph, to the point that manual bikes pass me all the time, and these fuckers are going 25 on a crowded nyc two way bike lane. And we have protected bike lanes in some portions of the city, so it’s much safer than the usual fare, but these assholes put us in maybe even more danger than the cars on a non-protected bike lane. There’s legitimate traffic in our bike lanes during rush hour, yet these assholes run the ped-x lights, use the other lane to pass us all, etc.
