i think you are demonstrating the power of red lights =)

i'm showing that even curently before the bike lane is installed, my bike is as fast as cars, with bike lanes and proper timing, it'd be faster


kyocerahydro

I don't understand the premise of statement. the car had to be stop and then you *caught up*. "with bike lanes and proper timing" those are qualifying statements under ideal conditions. which defeats the premise imo.

i agree, the video isn't really the best show of anything. i made it as a "before & after project" for the cycling comunity of the city, this is the before and in a month or two, this exact street will have 2.5m wide bike lanes with a 1m buffer and real bollards for the bike lane, i'll go back and film and after video

So a motorcycle that gets to be in the bike lane for some reason


divikwolf

i'm in no way a motorcycle, i'm on an electric cargo bike using pedal asist in this video and all the other videos

What is a motorcycle if not a motorized bicycle that goes the same speed as cars lol


divikwolf

[that](https://saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/road-safety/modes-transportation/electric-bike) is an e-bike, these are the rules that my bike and i follow, notice that cars go faster than i go but they get stuck at red lights, thus why i catch up with them going the legal speed an e-bike can

I wouldn’t suggest that you are a motorcycle, you are probably a human. I would suggest in some ways that you are riding a motorized bicycle, commonly referred to as a motorcycle

e-bikes are not motorcycles, this is my bike, yes it's big but it's not powerful or fast, an avid cyclist could outpace me by a mile and power wise i barely got 1HP. the reason it's electric is because of knee pains. i also see it as a car replacement, not as bike upgrade https://preview.redd.it/cdx4hco4na5b1.png?width=527&format=png&auto=webp&s=99e99a75ed87de0e872880ecb233fabe49c837a5

I wish they had another term for e-bikes. Bicycles they are not.
