Tuesday Tirade: Cycling?

There are many reasons someone might purchase an electric-assist bike. Better for the environment than driving. less sweaty on your morning commute, avoiding the hassle of traffic or public transportation, extending your commutable range, or for health reasons or physical limitations. But . . .

If you travel on an active transportation path without being active, are you just not a motorbike? The path becomes your own private speedway as you speed past me at 40 kph.

Should there be a rule or regulation that you have to at least pretend to pedal?

Just bitchin’.
