“Didn’t need seat belts in cars either, right?”
They were needed, just not required.

Because by putting others down they believe they are elevating their significance and drawing attention to their miserable lives. They know they are irrelevant in the scheme of things and by ridiculing people they see as a threat they think they are eliminating someone who is taking attention away from them.
Are they even safe to ride in the rain? What if you don’t plan on it but get caught in the rain?
Do you leave your laptop and cellphone outside?

I’ve had an eBike for about four years now. I purchased one
that was limited to around 20 MPH without peddling, and
purchased a more advanced eBike that was capable of going
about 28 MPH without peddling. The last bike can be
peddled to attain about 35-38 MPH on level ground. It is
rated to 100 miles, but I’ve only attained 60 miles on the
two charged batteries.
I am pretty sure I can get the bike to go farther than
60 miles on a full charge. I’ll be doing more testing
soon.
I need exercise. I also need to cut the miles I put on
my cars. Lower miles = lower insurance rates. Also, lower
gas if I’m filling my ICE vehicle
I’m 71 years old, so I’d be one of those older people
riding an eBike. There is a real misconception about the
exercise you get when riding these bikes. I peddle about
90% of the time. Even in the assist mode, I’m peddling
away, and getting a considerable amount of exercise.
As TexasGator stated, riding into the wind (and also
riding up steep or extended grades), it is much more doable
with the electric assist. Don’t get me wrong though,
because even up grades, I peddle. By doing so I extend
how far my eBike can go on a charge. It’s to my benefit
to put in the exercise.
At my age, I don’t like walking or running, but for some
reason I really enjoy riding the eBike. I charge it up
off my own power grid. It costs me nothing now that I
have the equipment to do it.
I highly recommend it if people live in an area where
they can utilize the bike safely.
When my mom was getting chemo a few years back, I rode
my eBike near downtown Los Angeles during rush hour. I
also rode it through Dodger stadium traffic before
games.
In heavy street traffic, you can really bypass cars by
driving in between them at lights. You go right up to
the light around 20-30 cars (or more). You can do it
safely when cars are stopped, and safely after the light
changes too, if you are careful and thinking. It doesn’t
mean you have to cut off cars either.
There are ways to be courteous to vehicle drivers, and I
try to go out of my way to do so, when I can.
Submerging a bike in salt water, with or without a battery, is going to be bad news for the bike. Most bike frames are aluminum or steel; neither will benefit from a salt water dip. Even a carbon fiber bike has aluminum components.

Studies have shown that universal bicycle helmet laws have a net negative effect on the fitness of the group because more people ride less or give it up because they don’t want to wear or can’t afford helmets than are saved by wearing one.
A lot depends on where you’re riding and how much. If you’re riding far and wide and putting in thousands of miles a year and don’t wear a helmet, the law of averages is very likely to catch up with you.
First time I seriously buckled up was at the direction of my driver ed teacher...but it has stuck.
