KATHLEEN FERRY, San Clemente
Thank you, San Clemente councilmembers, for recognizing and taking action to prohibit e-bikes on the Beach Trail and beaches. Unfortunately, I think there’s more work to be done.
I witness, nearly every day, parents who have their children and babies (easily under 4 years old), two at a time, on the backs of these e-bikes riding on streets posted 40 mph. I consider this child endangerment.
Obviously, the parents think it’s a fun activity. The only thing I can do is pray and hope it doesn’t take a tragedy before the city of San Clemente wakes up.
