Group riders like that are idiots, I see this once in a while. I'm sure all of those cyclists drive their cars many, many more miles than they ride and the overwelming majority cycle mostly or entirely for recreation. If they were the one their car behind this gaggle they'd be just as...

What impresses me is the work group mandate with reasonably short interim and final reports which allows for refining/clarifying/modifying/expanding of the current law. So something impactful is done now with potential for improvement. Maybe just by chance or due to fears of parental legal...

It appears to be restrictive but not necessarily unreasonable. I'd prefer the Washington state approach which is summarized in a Bellingham police department public information graphic (unfortunately uses the word "and" instead of "or" under vehicle regulations) based on legislation...

Western edge of the Columbia River Gorge, WA side. I enjoy riding other areas, Going to the Sun Rd in Glacier a year ago and Tetons a month ago but there's no place like home. The river in the pics is a slough running along side the Columbia River, not the main channel. It dries up in later...

They're delusional to whom reason plays no role and is disregarded out of hand.

I loved riding around Mackinac Island when I lived in Michigan or visited. Was planning on riding DALMAC this year then replacing the TSDZ2 mid drive with a triple crankset and riding around the island. Unfortunately I'd have to be back home Sept 8 so that won't be possible this year.

The "legal reality" https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/Biennium/2025-26/Htm/Bill%20Reports/Senate/6110-S.E%20SBR%20FBR%2026.htm There is requirement for "a work group to study and recommend a revised statutory framework for electric motorcycles (e-motos)" but the bill defining a legal ebike did...

I haven't assigned you any age. If you're riding over 28mph in Washington you can try your reasoning with an LEO if/when they decide to enforce the new laws. I can say that locally I haven't seen any of the illegal appearing bikes on the road while they had been commonly sighted before...

"35 mph does not mean an electric motorcycle" I suppose it depends on the laws/regulations where you live. Here in Washington it does indeed mean an electric motorcycle. That doesn't mean you can't have one but it does mean that there are reasonable requirements if you do.

Currently running it on a Dahon Jack folder with a several year old cheap Amazon sourced battery. Ride to town and back over 1200 feet elevation gain in~10 miles round trip. 190 feet of which is on the way down and over 1000 feet on the way back home. Most of the climbing either way is in...

Despite their limitations I wonder if this guy, at least at this moment, would have preferred to be riding on Tannus airless tires. I have a sort of love/hate relationship with them installed on a wheelset.

Ebike or not, you're amazing!
