We support biking for fresh air, exercise, etc. but please understand how risky it is.

Cycling with electric powered bikes probably adds to the existing large pool of poor drivers. (vehicles changing lanes in tunnels and illegal left turns on 139 happen almost every day;
crossing a solid line is not a minor mistake, it can kill people).

In Hoboken, a driver talked to the local councilman who unlocked a Citibike near an intersection where he could have easily crossed to the bike lane instead of following another cyclist and cutting in front of driver. Lucky councilman was slightly bumped later at low speeds.
