A man rides an electric scooter along Polk Street on July 29, 2024 in San Francisco, California. According to a University of California San Francisco (UCSF) study, injuries involving e-bikes surged more than 3,000% across the country between 2017 and 2022, and e-scooter injuries jumped more than 560% during the same time.
So this is essentially the entire piece. Not so much as a link to the original study. How much did e-bike/scooter usage increase over that period? How many of these injuries were caused by vehicles? How did urban infrastructure—or lack thereof—contribute to any of this?
This reminds me of articles I’ve read on The Telegraph. Any UK people here? What is the deal with that rag? Why do they hate e-bikes so much? I read Apple News for certain paywalled sites, and they’re the first paper I’ve actually had to block. (I think the final straw was their recent diatribe over the blight of solar panels.) Do they just have a particularly curmudgeonly op-editor or is it the whole culture with them?
