Traffic Accident, Las Positas at Portesuello. Fire, AMR & PD responding.
One injury, bicycle versus motorcycle.
It may be becoming apparent that the bicycle may have changed course just after an impact with a motorcycle, possibly into a crossing-sign-pole and then the bike thus fell apart? With, immediate prayers, and best wishes for the injured party, hope the bicyclists’ took a different trajectory than the bike after the bounce. And, is gonna recover quickly. There is plenty of folliage and bushes near by, which are better landing zones than urban-hard-objects. Maaan!!!
N.B. Traffic was at a complete dead-stop! Was it an E-Bike? It looks like it broke appart.

Who was going in what direction and who hit whom?
Genrally NB is the assumption here. The e-Bikes pathis unknown and has not been released. It’s under investigation. Wish they would release city camera video.
Actually still not sure it was an E-Bike. Can anyone verify?
Also, was the bike rider in the relatively safe dedicated bike lane that is separated from the highway or on the right side of the northbound auto traffic lane?
No, the accident was on the opposite side of the new bike lane. There’s a camera there so someone can simply chime in here and let us know. …
Is first photo looking south to Las Positas??
I not able to read the street sign,
Thought it was Modoc at first.
First Photo is generally looking South. The Northbound lane was at a complete stop.
The thing that is really getting scary is how many YOUNG people are zooming about on eBikes with NO driving history nor driving studies under their belts. They are kids…
I heard a couple of kids pass my house a few days ago on e-bikes and one said they were doing 31 mph. Great. The speed limit is 25…
E-bikes are not the enemy. I get the impression from the comments that many dislike them. I see far more regular cyclists zooming around with no regard for pedestrians or cars than I do e-bikes… if not for the sheer outnumbering of regular cyclists alone. Regular cyclists go much faster!
Utter nonsense.
