‘E-bike’ riders 41% more likely to suffer head injuries than other cyclists due to “lethal combination” of lack of helmets and alcohol – but cycling campaigners say hospital stats include fast illegal bikes

“E-bikes have been a total game changer… But this comes at a cost. London infrastructure is not set up to deal with the volume of bikes we are currently seeing,” said one of the new study’s authors

    Replacing driving lane with bike path will “historically destroy” Roman hamlet and turn it into “road traffic bottleneck”, locals claim – but cyclists point out “the Romans didn’t have cars”

    “We’re going to turn a free flow of movement into a stop, start, stop, start. It’s going to cause havoc, pollution, and disturbance,” one local campaigner argued
