200W is ridiculously weak. A cyclist has to produce about 300W to hold 20mph. It takes about 900W to hold 30 mph.
Foolish laws like this just ensconce a transportation system that is designed to serve the wealth and privileged.
and you should come and SEE our transport system
someone got jealous of all these motorised bicycles evading congestion... and made sure theyre banned
like an article i read today... some guy erected a swing at the end of his street, couple of benches, etc.
all the kids on the street come out, play on it, have fun, noone ever got injured... just kids having some fun in a safe environment...
was that allowed? was that acceptable? no, of course not. one person on the street filed a report and now...now the kids sit inside and play internet again.
like a small "settlement" in the middle of nowhere. government deems it unsupportable...rather than just abandon the place, and maybe leave some shelter for the odd native that wants some shelter and nothing else to do with our sh#@%$& society... they spent several million dollars flying contractors and earthmovers out there to DEMOLISH and BURY it.
a sad sad country this is becoming. very sad
what happened to aussies that didnt give a 5hit(abou the right things, anyway) ? that were laidback and easy going and generous?
