The problem I have is I hate a lot of noise when I am out hiking in the woods.
I can go to a lot of places that I don't have to walk to to hear load bikes. I
want to hear the bear so I know which way not to go. Not have the load bike
chase the bear at me.

15-25 mph on one and two-track trails that switch back and forth. Sure beats
having to beep the horn every time before you round a corner. Give the bear's
sense of hearing some credit.
