EPD needs one of these. For themselves. They allow bikes hurtling down sidewalks all over town. Wasn’t there a law passed about this a few years back? Yet bicycle riders race along sidewalks at the pedestrian’s peril, blow through stop signs, and on and on. No cops in sight. Laws don’t exist without enforcement. These (mostly) GMOB’s need to be taught to BEHAVE.
