I was riding just yesterday, had a rider get right up on me and then say on your left; about made me jump out of my skin. He was on an e-bike which I am seeing a parabolic increase in number on the road. I don't ride MUPs but some of the residential mountain roads I ride are used by walkers in a similar way to MUPs and the roads are not that much wider. I ride these residential roads only going uphill, so going slow and usually announce biker back from a good distance, most often to people walking dogs. I personally like bells; don't have one but plan on giving one a try. When I was near the top of the mountain yesterday, I got passed by another e-bike and the rider apologized for cheating (his words not mine). I wonder how many issues there are going to be with inexperience riders on e-bikes especially on MUPs; hopefully this doesn't end up causing much more animosity towards cyclists, too much as it is; chalk that up to worrying about things I have no control over.
