It’s always sad to see a local business close, but I seriously doubt paid parking plays any factor in their low turnout. My first time there was on that very group ride you mentioned. I’ve been there a couple times since and not many customers. This was before paid parking.

Not only are you not right, it’s fair to say you don’t deep down you believe you’re right yourself.

The painted bike lanes (both sides) that go along 1st St in Coronado have all been splotched out. Not sure what that’s about. Hopefully temporary.

I know I should know better than to read and interact OB Rag commentors but I went down that rabit hole. While it's not the fault of the Rag or anyone commenting on what is going on with MTS, I just read too many shitty opinions: obrag.org/2026/09/is-s...

Not that I can imagine ever accidentally driving into a bike path, but I’d like think if I did I’d realize it soon enough to be able to reverse out of it before finding myself in this driver’s predicament.

I love how he has this terrified look on his face after being chased and falling down. At least now he's in custody.

Could be a factor, but the article does actually mention there’s been a decline in the # customers who go there. Something I’ve noticed over the years. But yeah that’s not a good business practice if she’s doing that a lot.

Like I said, she’s not differentiating between the different circumstances in how people use them. What really surprised me was how she didn’t even acknowledge there are people who ride both.

It definitely lacks the kind of nuance one would expect from someone in her line of work. She doesn’t seem to differentiate between kids throttling around on class 2s and people who actually pedal.

Keep in mind, the way the U.S. classifies and regulates e-bikes is very different than the U.K. and Europe overall.
