The New York Times published a pair of articles this weekend highlighting the rising number of deaths of cyclists riding electric bikes. However, in one of the most impressive feats of victim-blaming I’ve seen from the publication in some time, the NYT lays the onus on e-bikes instead of on the things killing their law abiding riders: cars.

    Not for pedestrians it isn’t. Nor are ebikes driving on sidewalks or going as fast as they do in the bike lane.

      Yes, for pedestrians too. And the only reason an ebike would be on the sidewalk is if there are too many cars in the road.
