More barriers to cycling means more cars which means more dead cyclists. Help us defeat this terrible anti-safety bill.

    The unfortunate reality is that there is no world where towns and cities are going to spend money enforcing bike laws with dedicated law enforcement. They are just going to ban or heavily regulate ebikes, and this was the incredibly obvious outcome once the fat bike motorcycles became the dominant form factor.

      They probably had a similar attitude when cars first hit the streets. Hell my local cops have bicycles already, how hard would it be to put that unit on an e-bike or even a legit moped to catch up to offenders.
