E Bikes

Just venting but I am sick and tired of these dumbass kids and these e bikes. I just almost got smashed by one and saw another one riding his down Highlands Drive in the wrong direction.

Shame our cops can’t be bothered to enforce anything. 

These kids act like absolute morons and one of them is going to run into a car without a helmet and die and ruin someones life.

Cops actually talked about this in community meeting. They dont have an enforcement mechanism in place. Unless they are caught actively obstructing traffic or sidewalk, there is nothing cops can do but talk to parents and parents do know their kids are doing this. They are just ignorant parents that dont care.

The kids obviously stay clear of the road when cops are around.

Last year near Lk Sammamish State Park I saw a cop who had pulled over about 5 of these kids simultaneously. I wish they would crush the e-motorcycles on the spot.
