New regulations E bike

They have expensive cycle lanes built exclusively for their use at other road user's expense and then ignore them causing delays on the now reduced width carriageways. For all of this they (mostly) seem to think they should not make any contribution, have the right of way, often be a danger to pedestrians and other road users (who have paid to use the roads) and ignore all the rules (again).
Just to stop accusations of bias, I do also ride a bike.

Registration has to be done for all electric bikes and scooter before 2027 applys to new and old
