Go ahead and set us straight. What exactly is the governing law here?

I believe I carved out a range that would be appropriate to your concerns in the middle that I'd want at about the same as your current preferences as far as I can discern them. I have to defer to your ideas about what you need for your access issues. If legislators get the right information...

Here's another topic I think deserves it's own thread. Although Jabberwocky may disagree and say no-one here thinks governments might seek to ban bicycles altogether, it has occured to me even if I hallucinated those comments I thought I saw (and am not going to cite if you're that...

How to define them is a question that depends on 15 USC 2085. Under it, there is no point becasue no other legally binding definition can be made. If in a vaccuum, if I'm king-for-a-day at state level, and am free becasue Congress says nothing, I could come up with a class system that is a...

When I was employed I worked strictly domestic and related criminal. But my interests are very broad and of course I have studied areas that might have application to my life. So I know consitutional and criminal pretty well, I know ciovil tort and equity. I had my own trust case and so...

I know exactly what you mean. I had the same job holding the sign for about two months. I begged them to at least rotate us becasue it is very hard work not to move. I quit after a couple months when I found a better job.

Perhaps a little 2+2=5 was going on, even.

I never said there weren't any good automated systems or ones that don;t atrophy critical safety decisions. But I don't think any of this is a good idea at least until we have glitch free systems. Or that anyone should have to pay the money for calibration of those systems, which periodically...

Even broadening it as you have to more general urban problems (or even if you meant that from the start) I still fail to understand why everybody has to be governed by rules that might work okay in a city. You can ride a motorcycle all you want, too, to solve your problem. So tell me again...

It's utterly true. It's actually been a chemistry nerd prank since the 50s at least, it went around my college in the mid 80s, then someone did it online and ruined it for everyone. I did it for a while. It was hard to keep a straight face as they looked shocked and couldn't believe the...

If the reigns of power to make it happen were in my hands, on this specific topic, I'd initiate an investigation for antitrust and hopefully put some people in jail. I'd stop the Safe Speeds act. I'd cause a class action suit and hopefully get 3 class declared unconstitutional both void for...

I'd mostly point to parental education. As far as the state, education, again. I have no problem with special ebike laws for kids that invoke civics as they go, no e-bike under 12, 12-15 a permit after they pass tests, class 1 or 2 (if we're stuck with it) Class 3 at sixteen again after...

You just have to make everything a trail access issue, right? If you don't think anyone is saying the speed limitation is for safety, that's fine with me, stick your head in the sand. You are welcome to your narrow lens of trail access, and once again I appreciate your point. I do care about...

I really don't care that you're not interested in the topic. I DO CARE that you're trying to convince me I shouldn't be raising the subject matter because you claim the numbers of people who do this here are "smaller than a bump on a gnat's ass." What about the mom of a ten year old who is...

Amazingly, dozens or hundreds of people on this very site claim that the speed limitation is a safety measure, and many want it reduced further so the bikes will be "safer." As far as what people teach their kids, you should consider that they also teach by not teaching, and they sure do not...

The PDF? It's the same thing as the body of the post. If it's the body you can't read, it reads fine on my end.

As far as plans, I don't necessarily have any and don't personally care about e-bike speed limits since I am a fully aware rider and that will never change, and currently have a 28 mph limit. That's workable enough, though I don't like it. Personally I care about motor power for purpose of...

Sounds interesting...but how to be sure they're just being random? 5,5,5,5,5 isn't really random. It's certainly not the answers someone has to think about to give. Unless the tricky test has "correct" answers, and they are all five. I did a bunch of MMPI II's with random answers. I've had...

today's ebike riders that learned safe riding because they were totally responsible for their decisions, no, I don't think they will or do. But a kid raised all his life that he has a "safe" bike becasue it makes choices for him he no longer can learn from? If you are flying in a jet airliner...
