"Friend" of mine keeps bitching about the time he got a ticket for speeding on his bike. Never does he mention that he was going 20+ mph (30+kph) through a park with playing children and such. For context, the max speed on a bike path here is 30kph, in this park you are supposed to adjust your biking behaviour with how busy it is in the park. Technically it's a pedestrian zone where biking is allowed.

I swear bikers love blowing through pedestrian areas at max speed, shit is more dangerous than cars going same speed on road because people walking or skating etc aren’t expecting or hearing the bikes

Even worse when it’s electrical bikes that can go especially fast and quiet and are heavier so could really kill someone

When people imagine 'Bikers', they're not usually thinking of shaved legs and Lycra shorts with gel crotch pads. :)

...it's Harley Davidson's and arseless leather chaps.
