I’ve had too many close calls on my esk8 and ebike and have learned to always slow down/stop for other people. Not worth the extra seconds you save, or the extra power it takes to accelerate back up to speed again. Pedestrians, kids, dogs can be so unpredictable.
I wear wrist guards every ride now. Few days ago I fell going 50kmh. Without the wrist guards, and hard knee pads, I’d probably be in the hospital. But I just slid out and kept on going
that is what i like the most. The acceleration is much more fun for me then just riding fast all the time. For me its also more fun not to bring road rage to the bike lanes,parks and the sidewalks, bc i hate it in traffic and i hate all them assholes to death. We got so many possibilities to ride fast without harming ppl, but after watching a lot of videos i think im pretty alone with this kind of thinking, so speed up guys and always full throttle.
All the bitches will will blow your dicks if you do so.
yeah we have to slow down for pedestrians bc they dont know eskate and they are afraid if someone comes towards them with the speed of light on a sunny day in a park or at the beach lanes. They cannot know that we are able to break and we have to train and show them first. Or imagine a child changing direction and you would hit a tiny little body with and almost 20lbs or even 40 lbs eskate going 30mph.
Thats not worth it.
