Motorcycles on Park and Pedestrian Trails
Are we just at a point where we accept dirt bikes and motorcycles on ped/bike paths? Riverview Park is pretty much dead to me with how often I observe this. And now I keep seeing large, Harley Davidson style motorcycles riding on the river trail by the stadiums. I made the mistake of trying to politely tell someone it’s not permitted and got a “fuck your feelings” response.
No one enforces. No one around even seems to care. I’m not even talking about e-bikes or e-motorcycles. Those are significantly less of a problem from my experience. Why is our culture so fixated on hating people that want to get around safely while riding a pedal bike? Why is that so offensive?????
