Subject: RE: BS: Cycling MUST be made illegal in UK
The "cycling community" won't get its act together. The cyclists in the OP are not community they are just people. Oiks maybe, but not part of any party you mention.

I was buzzed by an e-cyclist without lights, on the footpath, in the dark. Obviously didn't hear him. I had seen him doing wheelies in the street beforehand.

Around that time there was a helicopter ambulance land in the locale to a RTA that looked likely, and I haven't seen the kid - not that he was recognisable in the dark, nor the bike recently. Kids on bikes are a danger to themselves, put them on an E-bike that doesn't need to pedal and............ it didn't.
Yea, Yea illegal in the UK, so maybe the kid just had it confiscated.

Now how ya going to police push bikers who don't care? That kind of policing is retrospective, if you can catch them.
