Ewwww no. No no no no NO. Fuck no. I don’t want to share my bike lane with these things! They’re heavier than most motorcycles! That’s dangerous as all hell. A rear-end collision is likely to be deadly. Americans might be used to Surron being able to slap a couple fake pedals on their motorcycles to skirt the law, but that’s absolutely insane. The point of a bike lane is to reduce conflict between heavy vehicles and fragile road users, not to separate “pedal havers” from “pedal not havers”.
