Walking in park will give you a heart attack
Tourist season is upon us, and with it come the hordes of rental and winery tour bikers with no manners or regard for those citizens out for a quiet enjoyment. This includes silent and fast e-bikes.
Said bikers tend sneak up behind with no warning, drive you, your dog, or toddler off the pathway, come in large wine fueled groups, and speed regardless the posted speed limit signs.
Current trend is a super bright flickering light. We get it, it's to warn of a biker, but we do not want to be blined either.
It is impossible to walk/jog/enjoy the commons between 9:00 am and 9:00 pm in the summer without tension.
Possible solution:
Install the signage of pedestrian right of way
Divide walkways into two lanes, as in some parks in large cities
Make the renters read and sign park ethics declaration
Each bike should be equipped with a bell and a visible ID
No e-bikes on woodland trails
