Hi FN
In way of explanation for my statements. UncleBobs first line where he Said "seem to gather in flocks with absolutely no regard for others or any idea of road or pedestrian safety." Reminds me of a lot of the behaviour I see from roadies on shared pathways

If you want to do wheelies or stoppie's or jumps go to empty parking lot or some open park with few people around
If you want to pump out speeds of 40 to 50 kph go to a velodrome or on a road.

Just be considerate of other users

I was well aware of the road rules. I'm sure your local entitled rich kid do to as should their parents.

Around here in southern Sydney the kids in their mid teens seem to gather in flocks with absolutely no regard for others or any idea of road or pedestrian safety. I recently came very close to becoming very up close and friendly with three of them doing wheelies and slides in my local pedestrian mall. I admire their obvious skill but mourn their lack of awareness and respect for public spaces.

Wonder whether there parents are road cyclist.
Some people seem to get the idea of social responsibility other not so much.

This might help to explain to some of the more conservative minded why we are in this current situation

Loving my pedal assist legal E-MTB with 100Nm of torque, happy with the 25Kph speed limit if the legislation stays the same
My motorbike rarely gets a ride these days

I think some are missing the sarcasm
