There is a recent pandemic of what looks like Amazon ebikes. Sort of 24" fatbikes, and what looks like 16" bikes with adults. Often riding on the road with throttle in a manic manner. Or fast on bikepaths without anouncing themselves. I have to get used to look more behind me before oassing someone. One isn't used to 25mph or faster bikes on MUPs

I guess the DUI crowd found a means of transportation. Won't be long before kids and others get hurt.

I avoid roads to survive, and now ebikes ruin bike paths as well. Last year I didn't care about ebikes and thought more butts on bikes is good. But seeing this menace makes me rethink.
