🎙️Auto Asphyxiation: E-Bikes, Elites, & Exploitation.

Ding Ding hop on the Light Rail—Penn Station Newark is the last stop folks. 

Who Pays for "Progress"? (I won’t make you wait, it’s you dude, yeah you). In this new episode of Auto Asphyxiation Kimberly (UberEats connoisseur) and Lark (Dahon cyclist) challenge the elite vision of electric bikes as productivity tools rather than social connectors.Using Law & Political Economy (LPE), they dissect e-bike regulation and the elites definition of deregulation: it's not "deregulation," it's rule-rigging to privatize gains and socialize risks onto the working class. 

How elite “deregulation” steals public safety from working-class cyclists
My solidarity is with the stolen from public, the working class. My lens is feminist urbanism. We must reclaim regulation from elites—not as bureaucratic restraint, but as democracy’s tool to defend bodily autonomy against market tyranny.

Who's really free in this system? We will be a spoiler—that corporation in a man costume! Listen now!
