saw a single vehicle accident involving an eBike in the Bronx. while I was in NY, I saw a lot of eBikes & eScooters roaming the streets. they're in the shoulder, in the lanes, not observing traditional traffic rules. the accident I saw: big city intersection, everyone was stopped due to the lights & this kid on an eBike weaves thru cars to get into the intersection while everyone is stopped. he crashed skidding near a traffic calming curb type thing, right under the light. we all watched him tumble then run to his bike & pull it off the road. also saw him spinning his mirror as it to remove it or tighten it. almost comical, cus he didn't seem like the type to use a mirror. then we had our green light & had to turn away. even with new rules there's no guarantee kids like that will follow them. no doubt there will be more injuries & deaths
