safety

Hi everyone! My 16-year-old male cousin has been asking for an e-bike for a few years now, and this holiday season I am considering purchasing one. I have been doing some research, and have come across countless studies weighing the safety of e-bikes and some harrowing statistics regarding the...

Hi everybody. This is a place to post photos, experiences and to generally discuss Rolling Coal. There have been complaints one town over of a gray truck slowing down in front of joggers and cyclists, then jumping on the gas to billow large clouds of black smoke.

This seems like a very basic question but curious about your opinion. There’s a YOUTUBE video supposedly posted by Rize, talking about the correct braking technique on Rize eBikes. The young lady confidently states you should brake with the rear brake most of the time and add the front brake if...

My city recently installed a protected bike lane (also known as a cycle track) next to a busy street, and I've been using it on my daily commute for about 8 months. Based on my experience with this cycle track, it seems to be generally unsafe for multiple reasons, where it's got to the point...

The link below is not about an e-bike accident so pardon me for posting it here. I felt the need since it is particularly upsetting to me as it is on my commuting route (and I used this bike lane today both before and after this accident) in an area where I really want to see cycling thrive. My...
