MODERATORS
I've seen one of those up close as I talked to the owner.
They aren't nearly as maneuverable as a regular bike, and are nearly motorcycle size.
As a cyclist, the only experience I've had of people actually using them on the trail has been bad. Not sure if it's a particular kind of person who's using them, or if I just have bad luck.
As a pedestrian, I hate them. At 25-30km/h, on a walking trail, they are incredibility intimidating. I would not want to be hit by one.
At the end of the day, they are one less car. I'm of the opinion that as long as they are ridden responsibility and aren't crazy powerful and heavy, I'm cool with it.
