Came across the aftermath of a bike vs. large E-bike on the trail today. There were several groups of delivery bike drivers on the trail today. They all were riding fully electric bikes and some had gas powered vespas. As I was heading north between Oak Street and North Ave an ambulance was on the trail with a biker on a stretcher and a mangled bike on the ground. One of the e-bike delivery guys was standing with his bike next to the ambulance.

I’ve said it’s only a matter of time before the fully electric bikes and other high speed vehicles cause a major accident on the trail

For the past three years, Grant Park has been shut down for almost a month for NASCAR. This afternoon it was wide open and looking beautiful. If it means we get a wide open Park until Lolla, I do not miss NASCAR at all!
