Sorry I was slow in the singletrack - my bike just caught fire…

This is exactly the point I was (badly) trying to make earlier.. Betsy's son is doing his very best to be legal and courteous while making his own life easy getting around.
Local plod probably know him by sight and know he's not trouble but he still could be affected by wide casted legislation just because some halfwit parents crotch goblin wants to be an arse/ gangster/ showoff and gets everyone tarred with the same brush.
The horrible thing is the lad is an easy target because he won't run from police so he'll be first in the net during a purge.

I don't mind the electric bikes and scooters when they are being used responsibly to be fair, the delivery riders with no lights who rocket off the pavement while dressed all in black and the local wildlife racing around the streets the same way get right on my middle age man tits

For me, it just says that it's the scumbag that's the issue, not the vehicle. They would still be making a nuisance of themselves - even if they were on a push bike or a skateboard.

All those people who say
"That kid on his bike nearly knocked me over"
I say
"Lucky he wasn't driving a car"

Christ that's cynically dark,, highly accurate too cos these wee inbreeds are going to graduate to something faster, and then faster still and then finally kill their friends or some innocents when they eventually drive outside their luck and become an instant statistic that mummy says was a lovely wee soul who never did anything wrong, everybody loved and is a terrible loss to the world..
Christ now Im being cynically dark

Yes, before this they just used to use MTBs, some still do.

typical millennials all posing and no skills
In the shooting world we say all the gear and no idea, that probably transfers well to bikes too

Commonly used about mamils and car-park downhillers.

Disappointingly I think it came from golf.

A good walk spoiled, as Mark Twain would say

LOL hmm golf what a bloody good walk and an amazing shooting range both wasted in a feeble attempt to accurately thump an inch and quarter ball from 5 feet away in a direction that you want while hopefully ignoring every single rule of momentum and physics...
Then swearing at the inevitable result
