Ken, I think it’s awesome that you’re out enjoying the trails at 72! While there was a lot of pushback from the community early on, as more people realized they weren’t getting run over by someone doing 50 miles an hour on their trails, it seems that a large portion of the community have learned to accept the new technology. Personally, I find the e-bike to be just another toy brought along by technological advancement and have absolutely no issue with them on my trails. The few people I’ve met riding them have been great people using them in a manner that doesn’t put anyone at risk on the trails.
The more, the merrier!
