Great reporting from @lauralaker.bsky.social. This incident shows a clear need for West Midlands Police to urgently review how they test e-bikes for legality, as well as paying for a new bike and issuing an apology to the rider.

This is a case study in motornormativity, car-brain, sloppy journalism and numerical illiteracy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... "£100m in e-bike insurance claims push up premiums for motorists". Big scary numbers, all the fault of lawless bike riders. Let's see, shall we?
E-bike injury payouts top £110m and push up insurance premiums
It is only seven years since the first claim over an injury from a micromobility vehicle was made.

Defra breached law, with Tory govt was in office, when it let farmers use bee-killing pesticide, watchdog says. This is one outcome of capture of the state by corporations, and secrecy. Govts pursue economic growth, not resilience, at almost any cost.
