Bloomberg-What's killing the e-bike Biz?

Extensive piece about the e-bike Biz.From Bloomberg Enterprises. Keep in mind that it is the tiny titan of Bloomberg who was primarily responsible for jet starting the irresponsible bike/micro transport culture by withholding enforcement by the NYPD. Nicely removing the backbone of a responsible bike culture. Undermining the NYPD and generating an environment of on going jeopardy and needless deaths, injuries and constant public safety dread. Well done Mike. ****https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-14/what-s-killing-off-all-the-e-bike-companies?utm_campaign=bn&utm_medium=dis

The New York Times Your comment has been approved! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with The New York Times community. Jack Brown | New York City No effort to establish a responsible bike culture. The NYPD limited in its ability to enforce the law. Bike build out done as fast as possible. Bike infrastructure set the table for world class congestion. Congestion-not environmentally or human friendly-begat a congestion tax. Congestion cost NYC $35 billion$ in lost business in 2017. NYC missing from top 20 global biking cities. Deaths. Serious injuries. Untold # harrowing close calls for pedestrians. What's wrong with this picture? New York is better than this.
