A couple days ago, I took my acoustic bike out for a lunchtime ride. I was riding in the gutter/bike lane. I crossed paths with 5 boys on e-moto-style e-bikes. They were riding on the sidewalk. We traded leads several times. They stumbled on a patrol car running radar from a parking lot. They showed deference and the officer didn't hassle them. At some point I saw one of the boys pull a couple wheelies. At another point, I pulled over to play with my phone and one of the boys asked me if I needed a push. The only problem I had with the boys was that I didn't think they belonged on the sidewalk.
