Mayor Adams 15mph speed limit on e-bikes

The Mayor imposes 15 mph speed limit on e bikes. No good unless they are identified by license to be recorded by traffic cam.Trying to emulate European standards. The city council is stalling the passing of legislation into law. Adams also wants to institute a dept. akin to Taxi & Limosine Commission.****The critical flaw in copying Europe is that Transportation Alternatives thwarted enfocement by the NYPD. Enforcement is the backbone of a responsible bike culture. Mayor Bloomberg went along with the zealotry of TA and kept the NYPD on a short leash. Public mayhem ensured. NYPD undermined. This is abject disregard of [public safety. The delivery apps are similarly abject. The public could hinder the mayhem by walking to pick up take out.*******https://gothamist.com/news/nyc-to-cap-e-bike-and-scooter-speeds-at-15-mph-adams-says?utm_medium=social&utm_source=email&utm_camp
