In the video, Dylan, who suffers from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, demonstrates the benefits of using an electric bike in a protected lane. With his condition, which makes joints dislocate easily, traveling the new Boylston Street bike lane enables him to perform everyday tasks like borrowing books from the library safely. This showcases the importance of infrastructure that accommodates all users and the potential of e-bikes to make commuting accessible.
Dylan highlights multiple concerns faced by street safety advocates, stating, 'We need to recognize the impact of double-parking and biased policing on cyclists. E-bikes are a real solution for those of us who face mobility challenges, and protected lanes allow us to navigate urban environments more easily without fear of danger.' His insights elucidate the importance of inclusive urban planning.
