Bicycles For Power and Freedom...

Bicycles don’t have pedals anymore.

Nonsense actually, when I read it back -

Just not the primary source of power, for

Now it’s a lithium battery pack.

                       v

Riders unlicensed on e-bikes and scooters

Possess equipment likewise unsorted.

These may be respectable commuters,

But also firebugs, sources reported.

                       v

This freedom really needs rules to curtail:

Tests on riders and gear they acquire -

Riders for skill road rules or fail;

Batteries fit for safe usage, not fire.
