E bikes have to be more dangerous than motorcycles.

I hit a 4x4 on the freeway one time and it was surprisingly not that big a deal. Also had a front tire blow out on the freeway and also not that big a deal. A car hit me one time and I didn’t go down. Gravel or anything slippery is very bad but you shouldn’t be surprised by it and should be taking it into account.

I don’t think the tire was obviously bad - wasn’t all worn.

I rode for like 30 years and never went down on the street, but I quit pressing my luck a few years ago anyway.

I’m sure it’s about adrenaline for some riders, and I’m sure those riders increase the death rate

Never understood why people think it must be an adrenaline thing

My neighborhood is lousy with even pre-teens going nuts on e-bikes. Old man yelling at clouds or w/e, but it really is crazy and we’re just waiting for a kid to get killed.

Riding is dangerous even if you’re not nuts, but both of the people I know who got hurt on motorcycles were pretty nuts - racing around, one was drunk. The statistics would be bad anyway, but they are way jacked up because such a high percentage of riders are crazy youngsters.

I’ve never dropped the bike on the street…only in parking lots, lmao. It’s embarrassing, for sure. It’s mainly because I’m really short and have to 1-foot basically any street-legal bike (that can go above 70 mph, anyway), and sometimes I just lose my balance. Or one time a big dog ran up and literally jumped on me and knocked me down…that wasn’t fun and the dog owner was a douche.

The v truly was for “vagina”, so you’re not joking if you thought you were.
