After getting hit on my ebike by a car requiring a shoulder replacement, I now think it's reckless to ride an ebike in a mixed urban suburban environment like San Jose. There are too many distracted drivers.

This whole shared pathways for cyclists and pedestrians is dangerous.

Yes. We should have more protected bike lanes so that cyclists feel safe and aren’t incentivized to use sidewalks and pedestrian paths.

Also, being hit by an e-bike is liable to cause much less serious injury than being hit by an SUV or even a sedan. It doesn’t mean there’s no danger, but it’s fallacious to freak out over pedestrian safety wrt bikes while ignoring the much greater danger from cars and making excuses not to encourage mode switching from cars to cycling.
