"When you consider how many different types of vehicles fight for space on the roads alongside cars, it’s a minor miracle that the laws of traffic hold up at all. What keeps the system functioning is predictability, something that renegade e-bike riders do not understand. Sometimes they act like cars; sometimes they act like bikes. Other times, they pose as super pedestrians cruising down sidewalks (electric scooters are the worst offenders) and blazing through stop signs (Bay Wheels riders, I’m looking at you). Over-the-ear headphones make them even more oblivious to their surroundings."
