I liked the fact that there are Jersey walls (well, the plastic water-filled ones) along the bridge on Mt Vernon – It feels very safe that way. Might be nice to keep something like that after this is done.
Agreed–funny enough, I actually suggested that to folks working on this project this morning!

Does a OneEighth sighting count if he was on his motorcycle?
Only if you get a low five…

The helmet debate has numbers behind it. I don’t know of any data for E-bike crashes, injuries, etc.

Excellent point! Still a little early to tell on E-bikes.
ParticipantReminder that this is happening on Monday!!

BTW, last time I checked, none of my QOMs would be high on the boys’ (KOM) list.
The first one on your list? From like two weeks ago?

The original QOM point was not that I’m improperly using Strava (and yes, I would be completely happy to mark rides as ebike rides if they would fix their @&#$*(Q&( Android app, but I don’t respect the whole competition aspect of it enough to spend the time to update all of my rides after the fact).
The original QOM point was to say that I’m riding fast. My point is that I get passed by plenty of people (men and women, not everyone is on Strava!), and using just the QOM data to say that I’m the fastest ignores the men and makes it seem like there’s an issue being the fastest woman.
E-bike is an option in the Android app.

The original QOM point was that the motor helps from 12-20mph, as demonstrated by your Strava data.

Oh, and I haven’t had my motor on full for the last month or so. I think I’ve been faster because (drum-roll please) I’ve gotten stronger.
That still doesn’t excuse QOMs acquired previously on a an e-bike. And it’s not MY complaint about you riding fast–I’ve heard it from the larger women’s community.
My point was that a motor helps as from 12mph to 20mph as well too. Probably more, actually since wind resistance is on a exponential curve….
ParticipantMonday, Monday, Monday!! Confirmed that it’ll be closed.
ParticipantSo these signs may be happening in conjunction with the Parks Department! There is some enthusiasm on their side for fun and creative signage that can be moved around and doesn’t get lost in the background of the trail.
We may be using some of the ideas on here, but if you any other suggestions, get them in!
ParticipantI wondered what other countries do in terms of regulating e-bikes. Asia has a ton of e-bike use–China has an interesting wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_bicycle_laws#China
The rest of the page is a pretty good read too.
