Re: [Bikies] E-Bikes

John Wagnitz, Thanks for following through with the contribution! Here’s hoping there are no deaths associated with using e-assist bikes on bikeways and trails. I see daily use and by and large users tend to be well behaved. I see more issue with roadies passing at high rates of speed without

In a certain sense this will be water over the dam in a short period of time. Everyone should note that the Senate and Assembly bills appear to be identical and they both allow both the DNR and local government to pass local rules or ordinances that limit the class(es) of electric bikes

Re: [Bikies] E-Bikes

On any given day for the last three years I see dozens of e-bikes operating on bike paths and trails. Many are large, heavy cargo bikes carrying parents and kids speeding along at sub 20 mph speeds. I've yet to see, read about or hear about any accident, let alone death caused by an e-bike

Man it would be nice if they just confined these runs to the Arboretum and tried to minimize street closures. What's wrong with running in a big beautiful circle? Brian Mink Monona Ross, Arthur via Bikies August 15, 2017 at 11:56 AM Downtown Street

Interesting piece from the Guardian about offering offending motorists education versus prosecution for minor infractions:

Re: [Bikies] Bike/car fatality in Cross Plains

Police reported that he (driver) was reading "papers". So purposeful, inattentive driving. Seems to me to be a slam dunk for prosecution but we all know that drivers generally get away with murder. Most DA's don't have the spine to prosecute when the weapon is a vehicle. Use a gun, knife, etc.

Re: [Bikies] NYTimes/Gretchen Reynolds: The Surprising Health Benefits of an Electric Bike

I happen to know folks who due to one arthritic malady or less than optimal joint replacement surgery have opted for electric assist bikes or wheels with hub motors. I also have taken note of many more cyclists of larger habitus using electric assist bikes. Then there are a whole bunch or

Re: [Bikies] Right turning motor vehicles out of Sheraton across Cap City Trail

Mark, This is a perennial issue and motorist violation. I ride the bike trail almost daily from March through October and witness or experience near misses with regularity. For those of us who ride the trail with frequency, we know to be on the lookout and can avoid the consequences;

If the planners and advocates could not convince Fred Risser to vote of this proposal (an avid cyclist, daily bicycle commuter, oldest and most experienced and bicycle friendly member of the legislator) it likely wasn't a well thought out or presented proposal. Brian Mink Monona Harald
