This is exactly my experience when taking my child to school on the bike. I've literally seen every issue and had people saying we shouldn't be on the road from their unnecessarily massive car, with one kid in, parking on the no parking areas and hitting 40 on the school street beforehand where we have roughly 900 children at the primary school (ages 4 to 11), so not like they should be careful or anything with their killing machines...

Strap a propane cylinder to your bike. You can't win when they run you over, but you can take them with you

Very good idea. I could skip the tank and have a sign saying "This e-bike battery may explode on contact. Hit me and we'll find out together"
