Sidewalk should have a 10mph speed limit, or no bikes allowed. I do ride an e-bike I can get up to 35mph (allegedly 28mph but with max assist and pedaling hard and I can, 35) but on a PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALK, with cars turning out of businesses and not looking, I go max 14mph, and walk the bike around people, walk it across intersections. It’s still faster than walking to work and I don’t arrive sweaty, slow is fine.
At the park, on the very wide path, of I am arriving for a Pokemon Go hour or something, I can get around the people fine but still go slow.
In the car road, though - say the sidewalk has pedestrians, I get in the road instead - I need the higher speed to be safer.
