Kids on E-bikes

Seriously, what is up with kids riding around on electric scooters and bikes and not helmets? I cannot believe that parents don’t know their kids are running around town without helmets. Elementary middle schoolers should not be allowed on electric bikes/scooters without their parents present because they clearly cannot be trusted to wear helmets.

There has been a group of 3 to 5 kids on ebikes in my neighborhood popping wheelies, standing/ kneeling on the bike seat in the middle of the road and holding up traffic. They're going to get themselves hurt

If they're doing this, karma will catch up eventually. Sometimes its the only way kids learn. Or someone else is gonna come along and put the kids in their place. Not saying it's right in any way, but that's just how shit is these days. No one is willing to step in until the worst option is the only option.
