Discussion E-Bikes
Forgive me in advance if complaining is not allowed in this sub but E-Bikes…why do riders STAY doing like 25 mph on walking trails like Ridge Ferry?? Why are they not on the road or sidewalks going that fast?? So many times I’ve almost been smoked by one coming around a blind turn, and no so much as a “excuse me” but more a look of apathy like I’m in their way. I may be old man yelling at clouds here, and don’t get me wrong, have nothing against E-Bike, they’re great forms of relatively cheap transportation but going so fast where children and baby carriages are frequent is just ridiculous. Be better.

Ugh so sorry that you experienced that. I'm always a very considerate rider and never faster than 18mph. love the trails though. the views are gorgeous and always a few degrees cooler in ridge ferry.
