E-bike users say Queensland's new laws could double commute times and force riders onto busy roads
The laws will double commute times, disadvantage people who cannot or don't want to get a license, increase danger for cyclists who will be forced onto the road, increase congestion. And all while not doing anything about getting rid of illegal e-motos that are the problem to begin with.
All these laws achieve is to kill off legal active transport in Queensland and stop normal, everyday people using legal e-bikes that are slower than ordinary pedal bikes.
Legal e-bikes are the missing link that has finally gotten people out of cars and onto bikes and the Qld LNP doesn't like it. Now they're forcing they're shit worldview onto the whole of Qld.
