What you are effectively proposing is only those who ride $2,500 + bike can use this path.

What? You want to spend only 995.00 on a ebike? Sorry!
Respectfully disagree, that's the cost of safety. Only Class I bikes should be permitted on walking paths.

Everything else is a motor vehicle.

But nothing will change so enjoy the ride!
