"The bill's supporters argue that licensing electric bikes is a common sense way to address public safety concerns, but this approach is fundamentally flawed and regressive."
"If this bill becomes law, it will stand alone as one of the most regressive urban transportation policies of the 21st century, failing to achieve its stated goals."
"The behaviors of e-bike riders do present a public safety concern, yet they are not nearly as unsafe as the actions of reckless drivers on the road."
"The call for a licensing system overlooks centuries of advocacy for proven safety measures like protected bike lanes and automated enforcement, which many bill supporters have opposed."
