Saving a click: broken legs, caused by relatively heavy e-bikes.

Not a new injury, not particularly disturbing and to top it off

e-bikes are considerably heavier than conventional bicycles, often weighing around 30kg

My 90’s steel frame competition cross country bike weighed close to 30kg.

All they’re seeing are the consequences of people who can’t ride but suddenly have the ability to go ‘fast’ around traffic.

…….

Research suggests that severe injuries are more strongly associated with factors such as older age, alcohol use and collisions with motor vehicles than with the type of bicycle itself.

Once these factors are taken into account, injured ebike riders are no more likely to require hospital admission than conventional cyclists.

Oh so exactly as I expected.

Faster the bike - bigger the crash

Very disturb.

Why is this "disturbing"? Odd headline.
