      In the Netherlands Fat Bikes are not those mountain bikes with fat tires, they are just electric motorcycles disguised as a bicycle because it has barely functioning pedals. Kids are a menace on those bikes, they go way too fast. Not to mention Dutch kids are getting fatter and unhealthier because they barely exercise and putting kids on motorized vehicles instead of bicycles doesn’t help.

        I see a fat bike on my commute to work most days. Fucking massive tyres, but its not got a massive motor on it so I overtake it with a regular pedal bike.

        There are quite a few emopeds disguised as ebikes too though.

        I’m glad little shitheads on motorized bikes is a problem all the world over. I get them riding through the playground where my kids play.

        NJ just required the ebikes be registered and insured and put age requirements on them, and so I have noticed lately a drop in shitheads, but there are still some out there.

        If by “them” you mean ecocidal narcissists in their stupid pollution powered people killing machines I agree wholeheartedly.
