- Rider was an adult
- Truck driver turned across his path, which is a classic collision called a right/left hook, is the drivers fault and can happen to any bike at any speed.
So let's complain about children on ebikes and reduce ebike speeds
This is what is called in the business a moral panic.

Most e-bikes are just that- bikes…
But the fat-boys are designed to look like 50cc scrambler bikes - (and perform like them once modified) and a ridden by children / teens as if they are scramblers on a track- oblivious to other road users…

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

I am once again asking cities to install usable bike parking instead of whatever this is. Could you imagine if cities installed car parking spots that were based on art versus functionality?

And how much Transportation is hidden in the other categories? What portion of Housing costs is the garage under your apartment building? What portion of Food is the sea of parking surrounding the supermarket? What portion of Healthcare is car-related injury and respiratory disease?
Transportation costs are the second largest burden on American family budgets (17%), after housing (33%)!
To address the affordability crisis, we must create cities with abundant housing of all types (subsidized, social, coop, market rate) and make walking, biking, and taking transit convenient.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Story after story about how it's shocking Charlie Kirk's accused murderer could have done what he did when he grew up with such a great family.
His family took him to gun shows, bought him a gun, and encouraged him to learn how to get good at shooting guns, which is why he succeeded at murder.
