So I ran into this guy again. It was non-confrontational but very weird.
I was about a mile away from when I ran into him the last time. This time it was on a narrow bike path that leads into a street which I guess is on a federal park and also on this park is army housing. The street connects the army housing to the main street in the park, it has many speed bumps on it.
The guy noticed me right away and was walking his dog. I was going slow and the guy was actually in the marked bike lane instead of the marked pedestrian lane, I should have yelled at him LOL. Anyway I stopped as not to be rude as the path was probably about 6 feet wide. While I stopped he took out his smart phone and was doing something with it moving his finger around the screen. I said to him "what are you doing with your phone". I do not think he answered right away, very strange, maybe he said I want to show you something. But I thought maybe he is going to try and take a picture of me? OR is he trying to call somebody or park police and will try and hold me? I am sure he may have spoke with the park police. Maybe the park police told him to contact them and he was going to try and keep me busy until they came.
At that moment some fat bitch on a bike who was with her husband started telling me loudly your going on federal park land and motorized bikes are not allowed. Just what I needed is someone complaining in front of this guy about my bike.
Anyway, I took off and when I was about 50 feet away he yells to me, "hey I know who you are", I asked him who? He then said "wait, I want to talk to you, I saw a posting you made on craigslist about a bike motor". Which I have never posted anything on craigslist relating to ebikes.
I knew I had to get the heck out of there as fast as I can as I would be riding though federal lands to get to the main streets. I figure he may report me and there are federal police around. As I drove away I went past that fat women on the bike who yelled at me again about using a motorized bike when we were on a street, nevertheless. I just gunned it out of there.
I just don't know what this guy was up to, maybe he did see something on craigslist as there is a listing for a ebike kit on craigslist in my area. I just do not know.
I think I will not be going through this area anymore, this guy may or may not be up to something but is very strange.
Does anyone know if e-bikes are a no-no on federal lands or something? Why would this women start making a stink about motorized bikes on federal lands? I mean, isn't my bike just as illegal in the city as it is on federal lands.
