I see from the good folks at the New York Post that New York City is having a spot of trouble with maniacs on e-bikes running down pedestrians. It won't surprise you to learn that the government's idea of a solution to this little problem involves taxing the bikers more and forcing them to get a license and also shoving government snouts into retailer's business to force compliance with the laws of some little hamlet on the Eloi bank of the East River.
I have some different proposals. My first is a real humdinger.
New York City should mandate that every pedestrian in New York City must carry an Iklwa. It is a multi-cultural politeness tool and it works in many situations especially in those up close and personal confrontations that so spice up life in Gotham. This one little bow to the petite gods of multiculturalism will go a long way towards making confrontations between e-bikers and pedestrians a much more two sided free-wheeling bloody brawl that entertains and amuses at gatherings where people discuss the highlights of their day in the big city. It will work way better than taxes and licenses.
I know some guys that can make a couple of thousand per day out of leaf springs and other scrap. I'm a problem solver, so let me know.

A rather nice bit 'O kit there.
I was thinking something like armor for your arms. The kind that a spur on the elbow would open up a chest.
(non-E) bike riders have been jostling pedestrians since (messenger) firms began hiring young swimmers ('crost the Rio Grande) who came north to settle and denizens of the northern reaches of Manhattan who were finally requested to depart their local education building (at the age of 21 being still unable to read or write) needing a job
The name Iklwa ostensibly comes from the sound made when pulling the blade out of a victims entrails.
So the emphasis would go on the Ik?
That looks like a good answer. I'm thinking a brush axe Shape, with a longer,thinner blade would also be a Deterrent.
Those assholes who wheelie their bicycle straight At people and swerve at the last second need to develop a few plasma leaks too.
Self-Defense Walking Cane works well and can actually be used in a city without appearing confrontational to good effect - Night Watchman specialists
