    Because the safety of X has nothing at all to do with discussing the safety of Y, so small minded people will gawk at how large a number 99.5% is, without ever even stopping to ask if it’s reasonable to compare those two things.

      Because the safety of X [E-Bikes] has nothing at all to do with discussing the safety of Y [Deaths-from-cars] (I’m going to say this is “travel on public roads”), so small minded people will gawk at how large a number 99.5% is, without ever even stopping to ask if it’s reasonable to compare those two things.

      So, that’s correct?
      E-bikes are not the biggest threat to travelling on public roads.
      And the article says this. There is a growing amount of people that would rather use a bike or e-bike than to drive.

      And cars cause most of the deaths.

      Glad we agree
