Lake Harriet bike path etiquette
Last week I had two friends visiting from out of town. It was their first time in Minneapolis and I knew they would love a bike ride to Bread and Pickle. We biked down the Chain o Lakes on Wednesday early afternoon and had a snack and beer. It was glorious! After, we got on the path and headed back. I saw the one-way directional arrow / 10 MPH limit indicated on the path near B&P, but figured we could ride against the grain until we got to the Bde Maka Ska turn-off because there was hardly any bike traffic and there was no clear alternative place for us to ride. We did not want to ride all the way around the lake. Right then, a guy on an e-bike zoomed by in the opposite direction and yelled unspeakable obscenities at us (two gals and a guy). We were shocked and embarrassed. My question is: does an e-biker doing twice the posted speed limit have any moral authority to complain about people going the wrong direction? It struck me as a case of selective enforcement of the posted regulations. Thank you - I will accept the consensus in the comments!
