It's a recent phenomenon - there were many bikes before and no such issues.

What's worrying is that fatalities are higher despite bicycles not being a large part of the modal split:

The few local accounts that I gathered point to older people using e-bikes (or even so-called fast bikes) and going too fast compared to their situational awareness.

It's the same problem as with elderly drivers, just more pronounced because bicycles give little to no protection.
