People of Mastodon!

I'm researching the growth of ebikes ...

... in cities around the US

I've talked to many people who love them!

But also want to include the perspective of folks who have concerns ...

... i.e. about the speed and weight of ebikes in accidents with pedestrians or other cyclists, and the like

If anyone has thoughts they wanna share, ping me! I'm all ears: clive@clivethompson.net

Pass this along if you know anyone else with perspective they want to share

Chuck Marohn of #StrongTowns introduced to me the idea of “#ForgivingDesign” in the sense that our modern built environment is designed as a system to forgive errors of users operating cars (e.g. freeway exit embankments to backup cameras to anti-lock brakes).

This same concept could - and should - be applied to e-bikes.
