So sorry to hear that Jim. It must have been really painful. I've nearly been hit a few times on the Newport foot bridge between Friars Walk & RP by pizza delivery bikes coming up behind me at a great speed.

Cheers Geoff I'm fine hit my funny bone and no it wasn't

Nothing mature to add but I do chuckle when a nkob head falls off of one of them especially when pulling a 'wheelie'!

Yes seen them ride the wrong way on Malpas Road clearly drug mules

Looking like that the kids killed in kardiff where on these things

Yes, that's confirmed.

Unless the footage was speeded up their bike appeared to be going at a fair rate too.

It appears that it was an electric off road bike capable of 40 plus MPH, bought as an early 16th Birthday present. No one from the police commissioner down to the person who bought the bike comes out of this particularly well. There is a reason why you need a road licence for this type of bike, so so sad for all directly affected.

We know for a fact in our area drug dealers use lads to transport goods to the paying customers on these bikes

You see them totally disregard laws of the road some even riding on the wrong side of the road

They know full well that they won't get chased because they chose not to wear head protection

I was reading earlier that some (unmodified) electric bikes can do 60mph.

Close but no cigar, Clive Sinclair
