@mbonsma@mastodon.social Wow, that's wild. I can think of so many confounding factors (eg, people on ebikes using them for transportation and sticking to bike-friendly routes vs people on acoustic bikes being more adventurous and going on less safe routes. Or people with ebikes being wealthier and being able to afford to live in safer, more bike-friendly parts of town versus acoustic bike owners being poorer. Or or or..). But either way, still completely unexpected!

@Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it yes, definitely. Other research (with different methods) has found the opposite, and I don't feel like there's a good explanation for why it should be lower for e-bikes.
