Maureen Welch, 83, was struck by a cyclist running a red light while crossing in Lewisham, resulting in a broken leg and extensive recovery. Her family, particularly son-in-law Aldo Zilli, has been deeply affected, necessitating lifestyle changes as they care for her. They are calling for stricter regulations on e-bikes, noting serious safety issues as riders often violate traffic rules. The incident spurred discussions on the need for accountability and improved safety measures for e-bike users.
"The fact that she was safe to cross the road and this happened, is unacceptable," Nichola says. "There are no rules and regulations in place for these electric bikes."
"We have had to adapt to a new life. I had to refuse work, Nichola my wife had to refuse work. It's been life-changing for the whole family," says Aldo.
