I’m not writing the law here. It was conceptual taking into consideration the consideration of others which is so lacking these days. Lack of consideration is how the bicycle movement got a lot of bicycle infrastructure. Lack of consideration is how a lot of North American cities now have by-laws restricting smoking in the workplace and other public places.

You can nitpick about 15km/hr, 15mph or whatever speed you choose, but let’s have one that keep pedestrians on MUPs feeling ok with cyclists. Just because MUPs are multi-use doesn’t mean motorists can drive on them either. Riding 15km/hr on a MUP is in no-way like driving 20mph in traffic. If you definitely have to ride at 24mph or 40km/hr, then do that in traffic. Just because you can doesn’t necessarily mean you should. How do traffic collisions happen anyways?

So if e-bikes are to use MUPs, I have no problem. But let’s take into consideration the safety and enjoyment of others on those same MUPs who may not have the same level of risk tolerance you have.
