Cops shot into traffic or chased vehicles with cocked guns in their laps. Find out where.
The way Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers use guns during high-speed pursuits raises questions about institutional firearm tactics, training and safety.

"We're at a cultural tipping point," says William Doherty, a therapist and professor emeritus of family social science at the University of Minnesota whose children loathed him even before taboo behaviors like 'avoiding toxic narcissists' became acceptable and spread via social contagion.

Cars and pedestrians? Seriously? Thank you for adding the topics, I guess. I note that the original post centered on ebikes being good and my comment was about my perception that I generally see worse passing etiquette from people on ebikes than bikes, but being angry at cars always makes sense.

The limit here is 28mph/45kmh for pedal-assisted ebikes. Which I'm OK with - being able to keep up with cars on a commute is nice. I just don't like having someone blow past a foot to my side without so much as a bell-chime or an 'on your left' and it's disproportionately e-bikers who do that here.

Cyclist stops in bike lane at red light. Motorist stops three cars back. Both start moving after light turns green. Cyclist tools along at 15 units; motorist accelerates up to 30 units, passes cyclist, and stops three cars back at the next red light. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. And, RRRROAD RRRRAGE!

Unless there's a "rule" that cyclists cannot pass you once you've passed them, I feel like maybe this "touch of road rage" is driven by you being an angry person whose rage is fueled by your inability to understand sharing, traffic flow, and How It All Works. Call an Über; we'll all be better off.

Um... yeah. Cars begin to accelerate when one presses the 'accelerator pedal,' which has been on the floor, to the right of the brake pedal, for over 100 years. See, e.g., the 1908 Ford Model T; see also the 1916 Cadillac. Does she usually commute by motorboat or some other tiller-guided vehicle?

Sorry; I thought that saying "where I live" might be sufficient for you to understand that I was not referring to "UK ebikes." Global platform, global audience. Wild, innit?

Plepgeat, of the Scylding Geats @plepgeat.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
OK. For the record, I was referring to all of the motor-assisted BSOs in my neck of California, legal or not. Excluding kids but including Sur-Rons or scramblers, the worst riders are men on expensive ebikes that are, legally, bicycles. Don't get me started on those mono-wheel skateboard things...

I'm not talking illegal bikes; I'm talking all of them. Ignore kids; they're kids. In this part of California c. 10% of bikers make close, fast passes without calling out. ≈30% of ebikers do, and are hostile and defensive when called out, even if it's polite. #NotAllEbikers, but more than bikers.

To be honest, my only problem with ebikes is that where I live, they are disproportionately likely to be ridden aggressively by arrogant pricks.

My bike is sexier than your bike. Your bike is really friggin' sexy, though.
This bicycle, an incredibly sexy size-XL Surly Sorceress in Hot Honey Bling, is sporting a Fox 38 Factory 150mm suspension fork and a Raceface Era carbon crankset while it leans insouciantly, and seductively, against a bookcase in my office.

So, the driver's punishment for violating the terms of his license and running somone down is not driving for two years? And the cyclist's compensation for a broken leg, heel and several toes caused by a reckless and legally blind driver is... £187?

A college friend of mine and I, as a joke, decided to be as non-pejorative as possible, e.g. "Being stabbed is not to my liking" etc. And, the joke made life BETTER. Instead of a world of trash and people who liked it, we had a world of Things We Chose and of Things We Preferred Not To. Bartleby!
