also, why point out that its an ebike? Totally irrelevant… ahe could have been on rollerblades and it would be the same outcome

Being on a bike (e- or otherwise) makes the fact that the street used to have appropriate infrastructure for bikes but no longer does, relevant. Meanwhile, a rollerblader would've just been on the sidewalk to begin with.

As far as I'm concerned, every member of "Keep L.A. Moving" (the organization that pushed for removal of the bike lanes) has blood on their hands.
