Summary
- A 77-year-old man riding an e-bike was killed in a head-on collision with another bicyclist in a Schermerhorn Street bike lane in Brooklyn on Monday afternoon, police said.
- The man was traveling north around 2:22 p.m. when he failed to navigate the lane correctly and collided with a 47-year-old man on a regular bicycle heading south in the same lane, police said.
- The 77-year-old e-bike rider was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The bicyclist remained at the scene, and the crash is under investigation.
- Tips to stay safe while biking in NYC:
- Wear a helmet every ride, even short ones. Most fatal bike injuries are to the head.
- Treat every lane as two-way for other riders. E-bikes, delivery riders and scooters share the space at very different speeds.
- Know your e-bike's speed. Anything that exceeds 25 mph is illegal to operate in NYC and much harder to control in a lane.
- Watch the door zone. Leave a few feet between you and parked cars so an opening door does not put you into traffic.
- Make eye contact at intersections and assume turning drivers do not see you.
- Use lights and reflective gear after dark.
- Slow down around crowds, crosswalks and bus stops where people step out without looking.

These bikers be going at speeds that are so reckless. They go pass the lights, they ride in wrong directions, they make turns so fast, they speed out of control. Something has to be done. A young 17 year old just died a month ago from a scooter collision. The bikes, scooters, mopeds, food delivery guys are extremely dangerous.
Lock them down to 15-20mph, I ride even my bike at 20mph capped. Got other cyclists annoyed with my speed. It's a commuter vehicle, no one should be racing, no one is above the law. Sorry this happened here to these two people. Better bike lanes, and better people participating in traffic all go a long way towards a safer commute for all.
It's already a law
Can’t wait to see what Transportation Alternatives has to say about this
Rarely see cyclists obey traffic signs ... Risking everyone around them
