    they’re illegal on the US interstate system. i don’t say this because i think riding from Chicago to NYC on a ebike would be fun or is a good idea but because lots of people use the interstate to go one of two exits from the suburbs into the city.

    the interstate system needs a bike lane

      Yes, or a nice “green lane” separated from interstate but as efficient.

      In Europe we layed out intercity bikelanes on secondary roads, it is very efficient as there are less traffic lights than roads.

      Plus, I would prefer not to breathe gas vapors and tires wear during my daily commute, especially with kids to bring to school or activities

        In America, we layed out highways to segregate and displace minorities and maximize economic gains related to the consumption of oil.
