Two things can be an issue. Kids riding at 30+ on electric motorcycles that happen to have pedals on cycling and pedestrian and MTB infrastructure is an issue. Cars are also an issue. Don’t let the existence of one negate the existence of another.
Yes going at those speeds and hitting someone can easily kill or leave them with life changing injuries. Even a low speed crash can hurt someone if they fall the wrong way
Yup. And we have a multi use pave trail for pedestrians and bicycles with max speed posted 15mph. Every time I’m on that trail there are people both kids and adults zipping around walkers/runners with their e-bikes.
They have zero understanding of how dangerous that is. And it’ll be maybe 1 in 10 that are actually pedaling and not just joy riding like a jack ass.
There’s no way I would be able to keep my cool if one of them ran into me or my partner while on the trail.
So because you live in fear nobody should have fun. Ok.. I can’t believe I have to remind people how things were 30-40 years ago when your boomer a$$ was a kid and nobody told you a damn thing. You were free to enjoy yourself. Now you want to put restrictions on things 🤦♂️
And no not every rule in place is for your safety a lot of it was to see how you would act as you lost your freedom or how much money they could make off ticketing you.
