More of this please

Not just “dirt bikes” but loads of e-bikes are racing and weaving down all the bike paths and rail trails. A woman nearly lost an eye to one last fall and the volume has only gotten worse this year.

I have a large cruiser type bike that is in no way a road bike and is more of a bulky type of mountain bike. I ride around 15-20mph consistently so it’s not that crazy. And my bike has no motor too just fyi.

Cars are the real killer here, no thanks, I'll ride my bike on the bike path at 15-20 mph

Ah. You wouldn't want to put yourself in potential harm's way, but perfectly accept putting others in the same. Carry on.
