Many of those Rad-style bikes weigh at least thirty pounds, and kids silently pass me from the rear, on the sidewalk, going at least 25 mph.
I have to believe those bikes cause pedestrian fatalities and permanent injuries every week!
You’ll be glad to know that Britain is planning for bicycle registration, license plates, insurance requirements and drivers licenses/testing for over 16s.
Only way to go.
And by the way, bikers will be rquired to follow the vehicle code the same as all other drivers.
I agree completely, and it’s one of the reasons I’ve cut back my riding. People on electric bikes fly by me too, I’ve had several close calls. I don’t have a good answer - getting sedentary Americans off the couch and on a bike - any kind of bike - is a tough job.
