Locals report feeling intimidated by biker gangs riding recklessly in Edinburgh, damaging parks and causing disturbance.
A resident saw youths wrecking The Meadows’ grass. The incident happened early Thursday. Vijay stated e-bikes increased since lockdown. He thinks they ride too fast on paths.
A Nordic Walking Group spoke about their upset. The group said riders come just to make a mess. They suggested they should go elsewhere.
Emily comes from Currie. She noticed more bikes near her home too. The riders were seen at The Meadows.
The Pavilion is suffering. It has shops, a cafe, and a charity. Erin works at Demode Vintage. She believes riders scare people there.
Erin thinks the bikes are not due to boredom. She thinks government has done good for young people. She raised a point about free movement access.
These events affect visitors to The Meadows. Lee runs FoodShare. He thinks it hinders the community. The bad actions ruin hard work.
Lee said this has occurred for weeks. The Pavilion uses wood chips to help. He thinks people act like they cannot be stopped. He wants accountability. He believes there are no real consequences.
