NYC AM/Metro Another e-bike hit&run fatality-Murray Hill

A senior woman was fatality struck at the intersection of Second Ave and 38th Street by a hit and run e-bike cyclist. the frequency of these needless tragedies is appalling. The lack of a rewsponsible bike culture- the uninhibited belief in the right to ignore the law and jeopardize anyone anywhere is hubris without limit. To hit and then run is an abdication of one's humanity. Regarding someone whose life is ebbing and flowing away takes a real indifference to humanity. Whether it be fear of consquences or a reckless disregard for public and personal safety is immaterial.The fact that the bike zealots were able to prevail on three city administrations to withhold sustained efffective enforcement shows that common decency, the promotion of the common good has been cast aside. It is only now that through the concerted efforts of groups like NYC-EVSA@outlook.com and Pedestrians 4 Bike Safety that the powers that be have recognized that there are more votes in favor of public safety than the irrational delusions that have brought about the crisis. https://www.amny.com/news/cyclist-plows-into-woman-in-murray-hill/
