Ideally this can make e-bikes more accessible and cut off the idea that biking is just for rich hipsters.
And to people saying they should spend this money building out biking infrastructure - they are already trying to build 10 miles of bike lanes per year. if anything, this creates more advocates to speed those processes up.

I really want to understand but that response was unreadable. Can you clarify?

Because people who have outstanding tickets and drive recklessly have no interest in bike lanes, let alone riding a eBike

Wholesale warehouse stores at Union Market is your cheapest option. No need to buy in bulk either, they sell small quantities too, but may not have a huge selection.

How is crafting policy to encourage more people to bike supposed to be pandering to drivers?

These are some that I found from some googling:

https://trec.pdx.edu/research/project/583/Lessons_from_the_Green_Lanes:Evaluating_Protected_Bike_Lanes_in_the_U.S. (specifically the second "lessons" report)
Some of this research is a bit old, but it think it's still relevant.

Check out 4p, and I think there is an even cheaper one that I haven’t tried too. Never would have thought I’d save money with a CSA…weird times.

Deeply affordable housing is 30-50. There are usually a few cut offs, 30, 50,70 and sometimes 80/85.

There have been studies done about latent demand with regards to biking infrastructure. It works the same as it does with cars, you build more lanes and demand will increase to meet the new supply. If you build more and better biking infrastructure and make it a more attractive alternative to cars people will gradually end up choosing to bike more. I can link some articles if you want.

It will be in the final bill, but they should be using AMI. Guessing, since it's Chuckles, it will be set at 100% AMI or even higher.

Council is pandering to upper middle class cyclists who can easily afford to buy their own. They're going to help those who don't need help again.

If they can easily afford it but don’t buy one, and then this rebate is put in place and they buy one it does it’s job. The goals is get more people to replace car trips with bikes.
