I wasn't passing judgement on existing CA laws, I was merely expressing my frustration with what is happening where I live on the east coast. Most recently, the NJ ebike bill just signed into law. Riders of illegal bikes are already breaking these laws and will continue to do so with any new...

This is almost always true about illegal "ebikes" causing these issues but it makes no difference. As a result, more hate is heaped on ALL ebikes. Their legal status doesn't matter. It won't take many more incidents like this for the Peoples Republic of California to pass more restrictive laws.

Yes, Lobster is liked by many, but not by all. Some say it's an acquired taste. I had a girlfriend that ordered lobster whenever we went out to dinner. I asked her once if she really liked it that much. She said no, she only ordered it to show others how sophisticated she was. Go figure. I'll...

We have lots of them here on the east coast. I pass them on the trail all the time. Rarely on an e-bike though. They don't need one since they have 4 pair of legs. :rolleyes:

What's next, emergency brakes and speed limits on baby carriages? :rolleyes:

What I can't fathom is, in the 1950's and early 60's, NJ, and other states as well, spent millions to remove "traffic circles" as they were called at the time. Traffic congestion and high accident rates were the main reasons. Now, they are spending many millions more to put them back in, and...

I'm surprised an "officially known" trail like that would permit a railroad grade crossing without the customary warning signs. The railroads here in the east don't permit such ROW crossings, it's considered trespassing and often prosecuted as such.

I've long since given up on street riding for a multitude of reasons, including the above. I ride for pleasure, not necessity and watching out for traffic removes all the enjoyment. Unfortunately, this isn't an option for many.

I've been using portable gas generators around the place for decades and they work great for the occasional short term power failure. After a major outage that lasted 7+ days, I got sick of running out to try and find gas, and put in a more permanent system. It's an 11.5KW diesel that I...

Could work, but I'd test the spray first to make sure the accelerants don't harm the materials in the tires, tubes and liner.

I'm a believer in talc as well. I find it looses it's effectiveness though, after the tire gets wet while riding in the rain or through a stream bed.

Around here, people like to read them.

Big bust here. 20" were predicted at one point, with blizzard warnings in effect. Less than 3" on the ground now with light wind and it appears to be over. Not out of the woods yet though. Two more clipper storms of 1 - 3" each predicted for later this week. Still a foot on the ground now from...

If you get one of these: One of these: And one of these: You'll be all set. :)

Welcome to the forum and thanks for your input! FWIW, A few years ago, a park ranger at a trailhead on the Cape Cod Rail Trail told me my class 1 e-bike was not allowed. He asked me to leave and waited until I did so. I talked to a few other riders I met at a local bike shop on the cape, who...
