Sadly people do. But they interpret the big ass bike concept very, very wrong and thus are becoming a problem all on their own...

Oh... seems like Startpage has heavily changed how long their anonymous search results are kept... Guess from now on I need to do the addtional clicks again to actually go to the original sources and directly pictures again. Sorry about that...

It were all picture of oversized fatbikes but on normal bike lanes, where there are zero benefits to use a heavier and more cumbersome bike. Those are used in normal urban environment for only one reason: it's cheaper to install an oversized battery and oversized motor in an oversized bike, to then terrorize normal bikers with speeds you shouldn't drive between other bikes (and the weight to match).

Where I live that is actually illegal as ebikes have indeed limits. Which is just ignored by those morons, as the speed limiters making those abominations legal are purely software (and can of course be deactivated if you know how). And as there is -rightfully so- no widespread mandatory checkup for "bikes" they won't rarely get caught anyway.
