I was an avid 5,000 mile a year bicyclist for many years. To me the most dangerous thing about being on a bicycle is the fact that you can't keep up with the flow of traffic. And every time you get passed by a car or truck that's a potential chance of getting hit and seriously injured or killed. Most of the bicyclists that I knew of getting killed or injured were hit from behind. I think the same thing probably goes for e-bikes.
So I don't see how forcing them to slow down even more will make it safer for them. These days I ride a motorcycle and I have to say I feel much safer because I can go with the flow of traffic instead of being constantly passed often by some angry motorist who is pissed off because I am in his or her way.
