Discussion Please talk to your kiddos about the e-bikes!
I live in an Olympus property in Katy, and, as I was exiting my parking lot and turning a corner, 2 kiddos on e-bikes went on either side of me. I was so shocked and figured my window wouldn’t roll down fast enough, so I honked my horn… and one of those kiddos was literally smiling about it.
I definitely do not want to go to jail or whatever over a stupid, stupid e-bike. Talk to your kiddos about, I don’t know, “on the road” behavior or even general respect. I don’t have the option to just not drive, but trust me, I wish I could just walk because that wasn’t even the first time within my complex. I’d seen one kiddo on a e-scooter, braked, scared, took a beat, got honked at from behind, started to get going again, and then some kiddo on an e-bike was in front of me. I’m lucky I saw them, and I hate that.
I’m mad and sad and scared. For the love of God, talk to your kiddos about respect and riding bikes - any kind of transportation, really - correctly.
