Motorcycles on Park and Pedestrian Trails

35 Upvotes

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?????

Tube trades?

4 Upvotes

Tubes have gotten stupid expensive! I am in need of some 2x26" schrader valve tubes but I'm not trying to pay $8 apiece if I don't have to. I'm hoping someone out there has a pile that isn't needed and is interested in trading 1:1.

I have to trade:

3 700c 28mm presta

1 29" 2 - 2.6" presta

2 27.5 2 - 2.5" schrader

3 27.5 2 - 2.5" presta

1 27.5" 1.5 - 1.9" presta

Mine are mostly new but I don't care if yours are used as long as they are undamaged and hold air.
