Dude fuck e-bikes too, one of my closest friends was killed on one of those things, I hate cars too (especially the panel van that killed him), but let’s not pretend e-bikes are in anyway safe
A van would have killed him on a regular bike too?
Sounds like the problem wasn’t the e-bike.
If the panel van hit and killed them, it would have killed them:
Fair enough
I’m sorry about your friend but ebikes are so much safer than cars.
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s worth considering that we are very conditioned to passive language with these events, but your friend was not “hit on his e-bike”, he was killed by the van driver. He was not at fault, the van was.
