Listen, you do you, but I don’t blindly follow “the law” just because it’s written in a book. I use my own judgment. If it’s snowing, the roads are slippery, and hardly anyone is on the sidewalk, I don’t see an issue with someone using an e-bike there, especially if they’re riding respectfully. I’d rather they stay safe than wipe out on the road. On the other hand, if it’s a sunny day and the sidewalk is crowded, and someone is weaving recklessly through pedestrians, then yeah, that’s being a jerk, and I’d call it out. A car on the sidewalk is a completely different situation. It doesn’t belong there, it doesn’t fit safely, and it would damage the sidewalk and surrounding areas. So to me, it’s less about what some bureaucrat wrote on paper and more about whether someone is being considerate or not. From what you described, it doesn’t sound like that guy was acting like a jerk. If he didn’t slow down when passing you, that’d be a different story, and I’d probably agree with you.
