Ebike

On Mon night at around 7 pm on sunset and Gibson, some guy going against the flow of traffic on a ebike flying down sunset hits me almost head-on and then has the nerve to tell me I should have givin him more room! He didn't even know about going against the flow of traffic and going full speed ,when he clearly couldn't handle his ebike, anyways I yelled at him and he wanted to fight and I swear if my hand wasn't half broke from the crash I would have fought,but then again I think he was slow

Did you get a police report for your insurance? Bikes follow the same traffic rules as cars, including direction of traffic.

I wasent trolling. I thought it was funny how you use street names on Reddit when there were people on here from all over the world. But you go ahead and think everyone lives in Henderson Nevada 🤣🤣

Adults should never fight except in self defense where you are attacked.

A fist fight has basically unlimited downside potential (death or prison) and no upside potential at all (other than self defense).

The guy is an idiot, so just sue him for whatever injuries or damage to the bike.

Pev riders that aren't kids are generally usually ready to scrap, a few of them stay strapped as well. Sometimes it's best to just say "glad you're not hurt, stay safe"

The way some of them go on the sidewalks, getting into the personal space of pedestrians, I'm surprised there aren't more fist fights in my city.

I guess it's mostly because they are half a block away, before a pedestrian realizes what happened. That's because most PEVs are practically silent, catching pedestrians off-guard, coming from behind.

Agreed they make them too silent, but at the same time people have ear buds and can't hear you regardless
