It’s insane to me once you start reading about how little drivers are actually accountable for. My husband got hit on his road bike two years ago, but the police wouldn’t do anything because he didn’t have any video evidence. He hasn’t been on the road since. Glad you’re staying on the trail!

Great point about e-bikes driving more pedestrian-friendly roads.

I've been riding my bike, on trails because on the roads the drivers are allowed to kill you. Antonia's book is excellent, I'll second that. I think the surge of e-bike sales may get more people pushing for bike lanes and safer roads. Carmakers aren't going all-in for EV. If we want an electric conveyance it will likely be a cargo bike, or those golf carts they use in beach towns and senior communities.
