Yesterday night, on our bike ride from school, as my helmeted kid and I were stopped at a red light on the painted bike lane, the driver next to us lowered their window to ask me where my helmet was.
Initially taken aback by the sheer entitlement of the request, I curtly told them to mind their own business, after all they were driving 2 tons of metal so where was their helmet?
Visibly on the back foot, they tried to justify that they were a “concerned [citizen]” (wink @Beko Pharm ). I replied I was concerned cars like theirs could kill me, which gave them an opportunity to mention the hypothetical usefulness of a helmet (in a collision with a car, it’s near useless).
Then the light turned green and while we started to ride away, they pretended to ram me by swerving at low speed into the bike lane.
At this point I’m used to drivers simply annoyed at bicyclists, probably because they would like to cross at the red too, but this was a new one for me.
E-bike sales were at 275 million.
Politicians and policy-makers, stop ignoring e-bikes. https://www.treehugger.com/stop-ignoring-ebikes-5324307
