But on a more serious note...
What the heck are folks thinking? I was eastbound on the Martin Goodman Trail, just coming down from the Humber Bridge and rounding the Breyers stand (used to be the PizzaPizza) when I was almost run down by someone on (I believe) an electric or very quiet gas moped thing, coming my way on the trail.
Now, I get a chuckle out of people on the electric-assist bikes. I've even seen some Cox-powered razor scooters (ridden by guys in ties) on the trail. But this was a Moped for God's sake. Like, no capacity for self propulsion, meant for the road kind of thing.
Point is, it kind of Irks me. Keep that kind of stuff off the trails I s'pose is what I'm feeling.
But now I've had ice cream and I feel alot better.

no problem, glad to clear out the basement a bit. thanks for the peugot! i've actually built it up already for the whopping out of pocket cost of $30 (front loooong reach brake). couldn't find red fenders wide enough for it though.
i agree those electric scooters annoy me. all the convenience of riding a bike and all driving a car with none of the accountability.
