No, I meant that the state educates the parent before the kid can ride. That's exactly what SoCal needs if you have irresponsible parents. But what I really wonder is why you think I'm talking about your state and not mine. In my state, we parent much better. So my solution, you know, for...

I did not say that no-one with disability has balance problems. I said not everyone who has a disability has balance problems . This was in response to a post that said "I have a hard time understanding how a 2 wheel bicycle that requires great balance and that can go 20mph is a mobility...

Well, I have to admit that this particular posting of mine is about things I am against. But there's other ways to put it. I am for people being aware of the 750 watt shell game so they aren't caught unawares. I want people to know they cannot trust PeopleForBikes. Maybe you could be a...

Wait a second. I think you do think you know everything. You see, I wouldn't get into a conversation like this about chain rings and mid drive motors, telling people that's bullshit. So why do you keep following me to post cartoon "bullshit" emojis about a legal question when you can't...

I am disabled and can ride a bike very well. Are you sure you aren't just limiting your ideas to a narrow view of what you think a disability is? My left hip pops in and out of its socket. It doesn't effect my balance at all. I have a difficult time walking because it hurts when I can't...

And so I asked, so blithely stated, Not so fast, that's underrated. For if I can not rely on law, All that remains to trust is flaw. As if perchance I needed thee Explaining Twiddledum, nee Dee. But if I need a lamish cry, To thy standard I will fly. If you don't have a legal opinion why did...

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 vacuum, 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...
