I was on the sidewalk, waiting for my son&lsquo;s bus to come drop him off. &nbsp; My back was turned because I was looking up the street. I turned around only to come face-to-face with a young man on the sidewalk with his E bike.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was doing at least 15 miles an hour.&nbsp;&nbsp;And although that doesn&rsquo;t seem very fast, had I stepped to my left and turned around it would&rsquo;ve been catastrophic for me.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was too stunned by the gravity of it all to say anything.&nbsp;&nbsp; At least he had on his helmet, but can you imagine what would&rsquo;ve happened to me had we connected.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hoping for legislation to prevent folks from riding these motorbikes on public sidewalks.
