Cuomo Vetos Electric Bike Bill

Submitted by RSchoenbohm on Fri, 12/27/2019 - 12:05pm

This issue has been in discussion on the Facebook page and I'm adding it to the Message Board because I am concerned about proliferation of throttle controlled electric motorcycles (note that I do NOT regard these as any sort of bicycle as I have always understood a bicycle to be human powered). It was noted in the FB discussion that the electric motorcycles are similar to mopeds, and I agree with the analogy.

From the Web regarding NYS moped regulations:

Queens ramble 12/15 - Bravo leaders and riders

Bravo Julie and Myles for guiding us through this scenic, if windy ride. Bravo especially to Myles for sticking with me as I was losing strength and falling off the back. Bravo to all the riders who braved today's winds. I was on a Jamaica-bound train from Cedarhurst within 10 minutes of bailing. I hope that the rest of you had a fun ride upstream and on the boat.

The Bike Snob takes a hard look at gravel...

"Being Rapha, it uses a lot of words to describe the cargo short, but none of them allude to the real reason to have a pocket on your shorts, which is so you can put your weed in there."

"Most certainly gravel is a progression: soft-core porn to the main event, mountain biking. Luckily there's plenty of room in those pockets for lots of bandaids."
