You meant 30 mph? I hear you. I have no issues with cyclists on e-bikes but too many are piloted by ninnies who lack even the most rudimentary bike handling ability, and thus are too chicken to use bike lanes on roads, but zoom along MUPs and sidewalks without regard for other cyclists or pedestrians.
