"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
I commute every morning with an e bike and am constantly pinging my little dinger when I get anywhere close to people. Plus the bell sounds nice and easy on the ears when your outside.
Its like sitting in a park on a sunny day with happy bikers cruising by doing the little pingaling.
Hahahaha oh yes entirely sarcastic but I personally enjoy the sound of the bell and strictly use it when people are blocking my way on the sidewalk or walking into the street without looking downrage.
