This is who we share the road with.<\/p>\n
An 81-year old Orange County man was left fighting for his life<\/a> when he was run down by a 14-year old kid riding a electric motorcycle<\/a>, who fled the scene afterwards.<\/p>\n The boy was reportedly riding recklessly when he collided with the victim as the older man was crossing the street. Deputies identified the suspect and arrested him after serving a search warrant at a nearby home in Lake Forest.<\/p>\n The Orange County Sheriffs Department reports he was on a Surron e-motorbike, which is not street legal and can reach speeds up to 68 mph, depending on the model.<\/p>\n And thanks to the OCSD for making it clear the boy on an e-moto, and not a Class 1, 2 or 3 ped-assist ebike.<\/p>\n Although not every media outlet was careful to make that distinction<\/a>.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Jalopnik correctly observes that confusing electric motorcycles with ebikes is more than just semantics<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n Tragic news from Texas, where a three-time paracycling world champ and seven-time Paralympic medalist was killed by a driver<\/a> on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n Fifty-four-year old Dory Sellinger lost his right leg and suffered a TBI in 1993 when a driver suffering a psychotic break intentionally plowed into a group of riders<\/a> in Alamo, California, after hearing voices telling her to \u201cGet the demons!\u201d Another rider named Vladimir Quinn was killed in that crash.<\/p>\n A crowdfunding campaign<\/a> to benefit Sellinger\u2019s family has raised nearly $21,000 of the $25,000 goal.<\/p>\n And yeah, I gave to that one.<\/p>\n \u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n A new Chinese study shows that younger urban adults are more car-dependent than previous generations<\/a>, but could be quicker to with to active transportation if they get better infrastructure.<\/p>\n Although whether the results can be replicated in other car-dependent countries, such as the US, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n \u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n We could be getting bike lanes on Vermont Ave after all.<\/p>\n Although the motion only calls on the city to study adding bike lanes to the project. And as well all know, studying is what this city does best, rather than actually, you know, doing anything.<\/p>\n \u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n Someone please get me this painting for my birthday. Or Cinco de Mayo or Memorial Day, or something.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa8Georgy Kurasov<\/p>\n — Cool Bike Art (@coolbikeart1.bsky.social)<\/a> 2026-04-17T19:34:44.609Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
