My friend was mauled by an SUV on my eBike this weekend. Some lady hit him at an intersection while he was going 35mph and ran from the scene. Two dozen something people stopped to help, not a one saw her plate.
He was coming toward the light on a two laner and she was in the LEFT turn lane STOPPED at a red light perpendicular to his lane of travel. He claims to have been making eye contact with the driver the entire time but at the exact moment he passes in front of her she whips a RIGHT turn and smackes him off the bike into oncoming traffic, absolutely unbelievable! Even after he got back to my place people were coming up to him to ask if he was okay!
Please ride careful and wear your helmet and any pads you feel are necessary and remember absolutly NO ONE sees you.
