I'd be cool with the motorized bikes if people who rode them did so in a cool way, but a few don't. In fact, even though I occasionally go faster than 15 mph, I've come to believe there should be a 15 mph speed limit on the path. If everyone followed that, motors shouldn't be much of a problem.
Yes, I was thinking along the same lines. It makes little sense after the fact, there are still ways around them, and if anything they seem a little dangerous. Is there sometimes a bottleneck when multiple people are riding through? I'm usually on that path later at night (after 9pm), when there isn't much bike traffic.
Not sure how I feel about a speed limit for regular bikes, but the motorized stuff either needs to be limited, or restricted to regular roads.
