I realise that for many delivery riders e-bikes are just the new mopeds (although many still ride actual mopeds, and a good few ride without e-assist, too), but today I saw someone riding an e-bike nearly get hit head-on by a driver who was going too fast when the rider took a corner much too fast and ended up too far out into the carriageway. His evasive manoeuvre was something to behold, and there were probably centimetres in it. He then nearly hit the back of the parked car that his evasion had enabled him to shelter behind, but that had also blocked his view of oncoming traffic that he should have slowed down to improve. Luckily, no-one was hurt. The driver was definitely at fault, but the rider more.
