I have a friend who has really bad knees. He says having a throttle really helps get him out in nature. Who am I to tell him he can’t ride some of the easier trails. I’ll send you out to tell him bruh. ✌🏽❤️🤟🏽

Remember when your friend with bad knees said it'll never get to the point of class 2s and 3s being allowed on trails?!

It's precedent setting, as they say in policy/law circles.

Precedent setting in that when the status quo shifts, policy on a broader scale usually shifts with it
