I specifically avoided, not only calling cyclists assholes, but calling the people in my story cyclists. It also takes like 10 seconds for a cyclist to get off of the cycling path to allow a line of 10 cars that have invaded it to pass. That's entirely not the point. If a cyclist is aware that they should keep their distance from a pedestrian, then they wouldn't be on the sidewalk or they would get off the bike and push it, which is what the law says. There's no ifs or buts. Giving motorcycles to people who don't understand that and calling them "ebikes" will just endanger everyone.
