Looks like I just got banned from the #UlsterCountyNY fire/rescue incidents FB group for making the *same type of comment* about a car crash that they routinely allow by the dozen for bike crashes. Drivers are not thick-skinned.
Now I have virtually no reason to use FB š -- except for my beloved Mexican toy truck collectors' group.
By the dozens, the group members blame the mayor, the transplants, the leftists, the ebikes, undocumented immigrants, dark clothing etc etc for bike and pedestrian incidents.
The second you suggest that drivers may be to blame, BANNED.
I read 10+ comments about why bikes should require license and insurance ā on a post about an āebike" being hit by a driver in a parking lot. (Commenters said it was actually a disabled person on a mobility scooter!!)
I then commented ālicense and insurance requirements donāt seem to be helpingā on a post about a car crash.
