Dumb poll but E Bikes are not a big deal I have 2 we ride them all over The ones in picture look kind of cheap. Really a Worthless Poll to make people take a side

Bend, especially has enough traffic problems without having to deal with electric bikes.

Another hazard for us to deal with. Drunk e-bike riders. What could possibly go wrong. I wonder if they will have insurance to pay for accidents?

Bicycles of any kind have no place whatsoever on public roads, it is an obvious accident waiting to happen, people deliberately put themselves in harms way! Bicycles should be expressly forbidden on road with NO SHOULDER!!! They do not have and should not have any right of way, they pay no taxes!

They will be left all over the place and there needs to be more straight laws. Like are you a pedestrian or a car? Forced to wear helmets if you are using any turning lanes or round a bouts. If they are a car forced to stop at signals and signs. They rule the road in bend and don't get the liability

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
