Social rides highlight cycling issues. Our route last Wed included Horseshoe Bridge. Network Rail is responsible for this Bridge. It is on the Thames Path National Trail and clearly inaccessible to many. Contact the National Trail Office to raise this issue:

I raised residents’ concerns about the irresponsible use of e-bikes, and the dangers of unregulated modifications people make to them, during a debate on product safety.

An excellent blog that indirectly speaks to current fears over ebike batteries also. Gig economy companies effectively nudge riders into taking risks while politicians ring their hands but fail to fix key issues. Build proper cycle infrastructure & control employment conditions & battery sales.
