[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16469235, member: 6727"] I like that one a lot! Wouldn't mind owning that one. ;) My wife and I just bought cruiser bikes (non-electric) for exercise, and because we really don't have any hills, per se. The is a walking/bike path (Quinnipiac Trail) behind our house that runs from New Haven up to (I think) Springfield, MA. Very convenient. I do, though, have an issue with electric bikes being allowed on this paved 12' wide walking/bike path. They routinely speed along at 20-30mph, and IMO that's dangerous. Their are people walking, running, biking, and electric biking, including young children. These electric bikes are just going too fast for the conditions, but there are no speed limits on the trail. There are, though, prohibitions on [U]motorized[/U] bikes. The electric bikes get a pass (for now) because they're not motorized. Electric skate boards are often seen, as well. With the growing number of people using the Trail, at some point someone is going to get hurt. Our property abuts the Trail, so I can sit on our deck, and it's amazing how fast the electric bikes wiz by. Too bad we don't have a dedicated trail for them. I'm not anti-electric bikes. I wouldn't mind having one myself. They're definitely becoming more and more popular. But they need to be driven where they're safe, and where others are safe. [/QUOTE]
