I live in a college town with little to no decent biking infrastructure, but see lots of analogue bikes, cargo bikes and e-bikes.Very few of the Vroom-Vroom toys. e-cargo bike are used to transport kids, other stuff frequently, and e-bikes used for commuting, as well as regular bikes.

What that says is those people aren't very observant. Time moves on, including economic levels. Times were very different then, and the changes don't make poverty any less detrimental.

“I gave him a barley sugar sweet, which I had in my pocket, and he went away, licking it. I went off and spoke to a Médecins Sans Frontières doctor, and I felt someone take hold of my hand. It was the boy. It made me feel so bloody guilty.”

The rape and killing of a young woman in Madison County first captivated me as a Duke University student a half century ago. Investigators botched the case, but after decades of research and a recent prison interview, I know who did it.

When Anthonhy Burns was kidnapped in Boston in 1854 under the auspices of the Fugitive Slave Act, thousands of ordinary white and Black Bostonians responded with outrage like this and stormed the jail in an unsuccessful attempt to free him.

It must be great to live where there's biking infrastructure that Class 3 e-bikes and throttles cause problems. Where I live, you're competing with large SUVs/pickups that routinely drive near 40 mph in a 25 mph residential zone and >45 mph on 4-lane 35 mph zone, with no bike lanes.
