I HAVE been walking along Fernleigh Track for 30 years, before it was officially transformed into a shared pathway. I live right next to it, so it is very convenient. It has become an unpleasant experience with the few rude, aggressive, dangerous users.
First it was the lycra lunatics doing their time trials. Now added into this mix is e-bikes and e-scooters, with the occasional illegal trail bike. It has become downright dangerous. I cannot take my grandchildren onto the track anymore because it is too dangerous. The e-bikes and e-scooters go way too fast, you can't hear them, and they often can't hear you due to headphones.
