I know this is r/fuckcars but are you really suggesting that cars should never need to go more than 11 mph...

Oh, so ebikes shoukd be limited to less than pedalling speed, but cars, with no manual propulsion, shouldnt?

And no. Cars never need to go any speed; certainly not in fucking new york.

Lol I never said anything of the sort. I don't own a car (I have an ebike and ain't nobody limiting it to 15) and I literally work in public transit, but it cracks me up how abrasive and unreasonable everyone on this sub is.

Yeah i think im just done with c/fuck-everything-but-cars-except-literally-then-definitely-cars
