Yeah, the bike lanes are really narrow in Manhattan, especially with streets going across.

I had a few bad experiences with cyclists in Manhattan. This isn't about e-bikes. Some Lance Armstrong fans think the narrow streets is built for them. I've seen them yell at older people on vintage bikes that just want to cruise by. At another time, they wanted to over take me, which is fine but not during rush hour and there is basically no room to let them pass.

My sister lives in Irvine. It seemed like everyone had an e-bike. Their bike lanes can fit a car. It's super nice. I wish I had a bike when I visited.
