One of the ebikes seized on Friday belonged to a 14-year-old boy from Warriewood. Police said it was capable of reaching speeds of more than 90km/h.
When I was that age, I was getting as low down on my bicycle as possible to reach 48kph down the steepest hill in the area. Now they can do double that with a press of a thumb...

How about ship them to Cuba?

This is so confusing. I don't know why they are destroying them when what we need is more bikes.

Tip: remove the batteries first, as those tend to explode

Or don’t and charge admission.

I've read they also release very toxic gasses, great business opportunity for a concession stand that upcharges for respirators

Why are northern beaches destined for the crusher?

What even is recycling, right?

Crushing the bikes so wastefully reminds me of deodand in the middle ages, like when they tried and punished a statue for falling on someone.
“The bikes are evil and they too must be punished”

Sure hope they remove the batteries before crushing them!

If only all our problems could be solved with the crusher.
