California Wants You To Trade In Your Car For An Electric Bicycle

Good news, Californians! Do you have an old gas car laying around that you don’t use, and would rather turn it into an electric bicycle? Well now you can, with a trade-in program that includes e-bikes!

California’s “Clean Cars 4 All” program has already helped many people trade in old, polluting gas cars for subsidies to buy electric cars or hybrid cars.

But thanks to a new bill signed into law by California Governor Gavin Newsom, vouchers for electric bicycles and bike-sharing programs are now included in the program.

This is a disaster. I used to live and work in a very dense urban area. People on bikes, scooters, etc (powered and unpowered) get hit and killed all the time.

I've ridden bikes and motorcycles extensively, and bikes are far more dangerous. On a moto I would have head to toe protection. On a bike it is just a helmet (which most don't even use). When people get run over by a truck a bike helmet does nothing.

45 mph on an e-bike?!? That is one way to thin the gene pool.

Way to go California! Rob people (me) of their money through excessive taxation, then give it to some other idiot so he can become an organ donor. Brilliant once again...Stupid is, as Stupid does.

Yup, who would ever want to live in a place with 300+ days of sunshine and the highest paying jobs in the world.
