Police hunt mum's killer after e-bike hit-and-run
What would you think from reading the BBC's headline:
"Police hunt mum's killer after e-bike hit-and-run"
Pretty sure most people would have their anti-ebike bias confirmed and move on maybe without bothering to read the story, because they already know what it's going to tell them; another hoodlum e-cyclist has hit-and-run a young mum on the footpath, killing her.
You wouldn't guess the truth, that it was a 4x4 car driver doing the hitting, killing, and running, and that the victim was the one on the e-bike, would you? In fact, two victims - one dead, one maimed.

Yes, it does seem reasonable - but not in the motonormativity world, where people just don't want to admit where the problem lies.

I made a complaint within an hour of the story being published. I have zero faith that they will amend anything.
And it wasn't an ebike, it was an electric motorbike.
I hope I'm not being a delicate snowflake, ignorant of the lessons of the school of hard knocks, department of that's how it is, university of life ... but reporting guidelines FFS! It's another self-driving car until about half-way through:
Then finally:
It's the BBC. Institutionally anti-cyclist.
Did you expect any different?
I came here after reading that, could not believe it.
