E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

What's crazy is we have guys on motorcycles saying "I had to lay 'er down!" who, quite often, did not in fact had to lay 'er down.

Then we have this dude, who knows full well he's about to get hit, but refuses to jump off the thing.

I'm convinced none of this is real, you're all fake, I've been in a coma just fever dreaming the past 15 months. No way this is where we've come to as a society species.

Usually the furthers I go into Toronto is Pearson Airport. Yesterday I picked up a friends son who is staying with me for a few weeks from Toronto Union Station after a 2 day train journey. The amount of E-bikes was very noticeable, they were everywhere and moving in and out of track. I was in my Tesla using self drive and think the ebikers gave the car a few scares. They should definitely be paying insurance if they are going to be on the streets like that.

A minor dent in a car fender can be thousands to fix. E-whatevers can do the damage and still ride away so who pays when there is no license plate or insurance?

The car insurer might pay depending on the policy details but they get it back at renewal.

I agree it is a real problem. I complained about that before in KW and KW is nowhere near the same as Toronto in this regard. I think anything powered on the road should be licensed and insured.
