As an American, I tend to use a term more referencing the backside than the front side of a person for such people LOL, but yes... we have those here, too.

There are no legal speed limits on #BikeTrails, and I think that's part of the problem. Before #ebikes, that was unnecessary. And simply banning non-manual #bikes (usually just via trail rules, not legislated through laws) was enough.

But a lot of people have bought #ebikes for the purpose of long rides, and those trail rules have just been repeatedly ignored.

Most #ebikers ride safe, as a lot of them are older folks who want to slow down and enjoy the ride, anyway. But enough are...jerks...that it tends to make things unsafe.

This time of year near me, you also get more people who don't tend to ride trails often. #Chicago has only a few weeks in Spring and a few weeks in Autumn (about now) where the weather is encouraging enough for everyone to come outside.
