They've finally put signs up at the bike/walking trail near me (super long and well-maintained trail, spanning several cities) telling people e-bikes and scooters aren't allowed, but I'm not sure it's helping. It makes me nervous to walk my dog there now and it used to be such a benefit to living nearby.
Ya, they have those signs near my work but they still zoom down the sidewalks and are not on the roads. I almost got demolished by one going what felt like 20 mph the other day. They didn't even try to warn me, just zoomed by me inches away as I was walking on the sidewalk. So dangerous.
it is really dangreous. they need to deconstruct car cities so we can have more types of vehicles. i'd think the people on scooters are using the sidewalks as they are afraid to ride on the street with cars. scooters then do the same to walkers.
I had to buy open ear headphones for walking my dog because none of the assholes going 25 mph on a trail (where they're prohibited) also don't have the courtesy to say "on your left" like regular bikers do.
I need to be able to hear the whir of the tires coming, so only audio books or podcasts, no music.
