Q: Will PRC ever say no to ebikes on sidewalks?

As many of you have seen, in most cities it is an extremely dangerous game of 'Duck, Dodge, Dive, and Dodge' to walk the sidewalks of Mainland. Crazy how these broken, narrow sidewalks swarmed with the teeming masses of Our Less than Cognizant Friends  all at a moment away from suffering life-changing injuries due to these aggressive ebikes rocketing in, out and between them.  Anyone care to guesstimate how many pedestrians are crippled each day from having a tibia snapped, ankle crushed, due to being ran down by an ebike?

stoopid question of the day, but why is this allowed/tolerated?

Its the food chain for sure.

On the road, your size defines your status.

Same on the pavement.

But the pavement is a different battle ground in this selfish country. Its a place where adults who should know better consider a 2 year old toddler as being on the same level as an empty crisp packet.

The urge to grab and pull is too often too strong.

But what winds me up more are bus stops. The bus stops, people pile off, beep beep beep, the ebikes barge through. It should be simple. A bus stops, the doors open, and people get off. It's an easy thing to anticipate.

When I ride my ebike... bus stop ahead.. bus stopping.. slow down... doors open... stop... give way. There might be mums with kids, farmers with baskets of bannanas, old people, school kids, tired shopworkers who just want to get home after a two hour commute.

I stop. Give way. Maybe use the time to light up a smoke.

When I ride my ebike I only stand my ground against bigger. Never against smaller.

And yes, I do ride my ebike on the pavement.

But I do it with western charactaristics.

Not until there's a serious accident that gets international attention (causing a lose of face)

Fullstop banned in GZ as from today. So they say.

 

But also banned from going through red lights. So what is it? Banned from the city, banned from the road, or banned from going through red lights?

 

No mention of pavements

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
