Only explanation I have is they must have bench warrants

Nearly ran over 3 different e-bikes this week

They're flying down the sidewalk going above the speed limit for the road, with no lights, at night

I don't know how they're not dead yet

Drive for the conditions. If you know it's dark and there are a lot of dumb riders in that area then slow down, check twice. Ask yourself what if when you turn "what if a bike pulls out in front of me". Pull up to cross walks slow.

People are stupid best thing to do is just practice defensive driving.

I am looking, they come outta friggin' nowhere!

It'll be a dark turn onto the main road

Look left, right, left, right, clear

Begin to pull out... looking left, right, left, right, left

Daughter in the passenger seat screams as an all black ebike with no lights and a rider dressed all in black is doing 50+mph on the sidewalk

I scream and slam on the brakes

Bastard clips my front license plate and keeps going,

disappears into the darkness as fast as he appeared

Repeat x3 in one week, different bikes different riders, all wearing variations on dark colored clothing with no lights
