Regarding Noozhawk’s Feb. 2 story, “With Council Approval, Santa Barbara Ready to Power Up Electric Bike Program at Waterfront,” if it were not for the Shazam password “bike,” the program to install commercial for-profit, intrusive infrastructure on public streets and places in this town would be laughed off stage.
The fact that the Ebike vendor, BCycle, has managed to convince our managers and City Council that their opportunity to make a buck is a sign of a healthy city is more than odd. One assumes that other communities have resisted this co-option. Why are we not?
