4. 'E-bike barriers' on trails near Breckenridge, CO, raise accessibility concern (singletracks.com) — New "e-bike barrier" logs on Creek Trail in nearby Silverthorne are meant to keep motorized and e-bikes out, but they may do little to deter determined riders while completely blocking adaptive cyclists.
