  • Almost ran into a scooter who undertook me as I was manoeuvring behind and beside several buses. I glanced back to check for traffic, and when I looked ahead the damned thing had suddenly popped up right in front of me, I didn’t ever hear or see it coming.

    Edit- maybe they should add a sound effect to the engine, like some electric cars have. Something like this might work https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dDgGMInTqTo

  • This sounds like the sort of stuff drivers say about cyclists.

  • I got a fright this summer as a guy on a de-limited e bike brushed me going past me and then cut into a tiny gap in front with a double decker bus running beside us and behind. Couldn't hear it either, there was no sound at all.

    I was on the road bike tapping out a decent speed up a hill so had no expectation of anyone passing me like that, then after he zipped past he flew away ahead. Anyway at the time I felt that on another day that incident might not have gone so well for me as he was so close to clipping a wheel.

    e bikes and e scooters are both a total menace on the roads.
