Anyway, you're claim that motorbikes are faster, does not apply in
congested areas like London where the max speed in the rush hour can
be as low as 11mph. My Ebike can do 30mph.

On an occasion I was out walking when a motorbike came up quietly to a
junction I was about to cross and then pulled out with a gentle woosh.
A much more pleasant experience to be a bystander than being near a
combustion vehicle.

I was once overtaken by a BMW i3 while cycling. It produced a gentle
whistle (inherent, not artficial) but it makes one realise how much
inner tension in the proximity of motor vehicles is caused by the
thrashing of the mechanical parts and thrum of the exhaust.

Now we are going to have to put up with electric cars making
artificial noises. Promoted as a benefit to pedestrians, of course. I
think the real motive is that it is a benefit to drivers because
getting pedestrians to leap out of the way reduces the inconvenience
to them.
I believe that the responsibility to avoid running into pedestrians
lies with the vehicle user, as irritating as it ocassionally may be.
Interesting to get your thoughts on it.

I think I've called you a boring **** in the past?
If not, you are a boring ****.
