Eye witness head on collision E-bike & Citibike
8:15 AM Intersection of First Ave and 6th St. Resident of 6th Street on her way to work.
An E-bike delivery agent was riding at a good speed THE WRONG WAY on First in the bike
lane. A Citibike rider was heading uptown. The E rider crashed head on into the Citibike.
The Citirider was thrown from the bike. Lay on the pavement. Glasses broken. Possible head injury.
He-Hispanic man on way to work wore NO Helmet. Cops called. Came. EMS called Arrived.
The E-biker was Black. Likely immigrant. His bike was held by the eyewitness. Did not try
to flee. A number of people stayed to offer comfort and prevent the lawbreaker from fleeing.
Why did the head on occur? Clearly the Delivery agent was going the wrong way. Was he
looking at his phone? Why did he not see the approaching Citibike? The Citibiker had
an ear bud. Was he in some way distracted and unable to warn or avoid the collision?
This is an 80-20 case of irresponsible cycling. Clearly the perp was the E-bike delivery
agent. The victim wore no helmet. Unwise.Ear bud could signal distraction. Unwise.
He paid the price. What will the cops do? Will the victim be able to realize any
justice or retributin?
The system has been warped by the zealotry of the bike advocates. Lack of a responsible
bike culture. NYPD been undermined by having had their opportunity for enforcement
seriously compromised.The political establishment having been arm twisted has failed to
protect the riders, pedestrians and motorists alike. Another day another accident in
the big city.
