So tell me Shoestring, would a year be an appropriate time to wait until we request they also consider Class 2 bikes? After they see that Class 1 bike riders are responsible riders, we can inform them of the safety advantage a Class 2 bike offers older people that might aggravate an injury...

I too called York Parks today and they stated,"All bike trails are open to Class 1 bikes and that it takes a while to update their literature stating no E-Bikes.
