Bikes and scooters issue

So I understand Hudson county as a whole is still developing its bike infrastructure, but it's gotten pretty crazy as of late with electric bikes and scooters.

In the last 2 weeks I've had 3 separate instances where an ebike flew through a red light and almost hit me and another instance where a young kid was on an electric scooter going the opposite way of one way traffic and they had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting me after running a red. I'm a pretty cautious "drive like everyone is crazy, except you" person as well.

Curious what to do besides vent here.

Also - love that 16+ are able to get hands on a mode of transportation that allows for work/play further from home that's more most effective. Could only dream to have one when I was their age 😂
