An ebike driver nailed me on the sidewalk in front of gia gelato a month ago and my wrist is still messed up. Unfortunately JCPD won't enforce outside of those posted up on Newark assigned to do just that, so I think we pedestrians must take matters into our own hands.

I plan to. He is lucky It was me and not my child or my mother. Because I can handle it. It's wrong for him and how he acted. I am so mad. Are they supposed to have license plates??

I was walking my dog at 8pm last Saturday when an e-bike comes laying down the sidewalk at 30 mph. I yell “Woah! Woah! Sidewalk!” The punk kid yells “fuck you!”. To which I yell back some obscenities. To which the kid, now 50 feet away calls me a pussy. I wish I had the opportunity to fight him.

They’ll learn.

Yeah they have some nerve. Some are just so nasty. I wish I could have gotten this person's info. I'm not one to start a fight with a man in the street- especially if I'm hurt. But if they're going to be employed by Uber eats or grubhub they need to have some sort of license plate so people can report certain drivers. They're very sloppy. Some aren't bad. I've seen some really cautious ones but man, the ones who fly on their bikes are obnoxious.
