The electric bike welsh death riot thread.

[Ribenapigeon]

So when is the riot scheduled?

As soon as the relative (probably parent) that bought it realises they are on the hook for aiding and abetting.

I feel some knee-jerk legislation making something that is already illegal, illegal but someone other than the criminals responsability coming on.

How dumb can we go with this? I reckon mandatory helmet wearing for under 18's at a minimum. Possibly some draconian, ill thought-out and impossible to enforce additional regs to the construction and use of E-bikes?

Apart from bringing bicycles into the realm of vehicle licensing there's not a lot can be done.

Is it only me who thinks its amusingly ironic to see that the latest one stoved his head in on the front of an ambulance.

Is anyone who dies at a young age ever a bad person?

It seems they are all lovable chappys who kissed their grandmother goodnight and read stories to their little sister. At worst, a bit of a rascal. (maybe a euphenism for drug dealer?)

The latedst ambulance death - No-one had a bad word to say about Saul.

Welsh bike deaths - "[Kyrees] was lovely. If I needed milk he went to the shop for me, always asking if I needed anything. A lovely boy."

The Welsh car crash that killed 3 - "They were well known and loved by everyone. There are no words."

And it's always a 'tight knit community' as in - "Kelmscott is a large and tight-knit family and this loss will be felt for a long time to come. Hold those that you love close this evening. I know we will come together as a community and support one another through this."

Ah well, I don't suppose it would go down well saying 'He was a c**t and the community sucks.'

I know it's easy enough to get an illegal eScooter but where are the kids sourcing these over the top eBikes? They're not sold in the likes of Halfords.

Those floral tributes look like flower baskets that the cooncil maintain. (Financed by the contributions of law-abiding town's folk who work hard.

I don't get it... 7-8k comfortably buys a lot of different real bikes including actual legit moto cross bikes.
Is it because these things are presumably easy to ride twist and go efforts? I mean a using gearbox does sort
of require the ability to count to 6, is that the problem? Also it's ridiculous that now the roadman uniform
seems to have added a ski mask balaclava thing to the standard dole edition Adidas trackies and hoodie combo
and is obviously to hide the wearers identity as can be seen in the pic above, I'll bet all three there are wearing
them. Only nobody can say anything because mask wearing was normalised and has been enthusiastically
encouraged since 2020. This has been such a gift to the scrote community.
