    The Telegraph here has done the same for Ebikes and Escooters. But mostly cyclists. Its been weeks of these articles. They’re not alone either, the Mail, Express and Sun have done the same. Its to create the illusion of your Government tackling a problem that doesnt really exist, as ours announced they’d be “bringing in new measures” recently only to launch a General Election a couple of days after.
