When David Couper was police chief in Madison he routinely carried
his service revolver to handle situations like this. Following his
example, I sometimes carry. One time while biking in Lafayette County a
woman sat on her front porch and watched her dog come after me. She did
nothing.
Important information from the DNR for anyone thinking about
bicycling Badger or Sugar River trails this holiday weekend.

If you are saying you feel that there is no difference between an
e-assist bicycle and and a bicycle with an internal combustion
engine (motor), that's a different conversation entirely.

Grant, point well taken. This is all about selling stuff. Regular
bike imports, exports and sales are down due to excessive inventories
and a slow market, so Ebikes are where the industry is headed to sustain
itself.

I think I can tell you and others, in a nutshell, what's going on.

The state Nonmotorized Recreation and Transportation Trails Council is
aware of the emergence of these machines. We'll be attempting to address
them. Meantime, state law makes these machines illegal on "bikeways,"
which include paths and lanes designated for bicycling, with the motor
engaged.
I echo John Rider's comments about describing these incidents as
"accidents." Accidents have no cause, but the deaths of cyclists do.

I would think this will take some cars off the Beltline by
providing a more direct and safer bicycle commuter route between
Madison, McFarland and Stoughton. Currently, bicycling between these
communities can only be done under very challenging conditions,
especially at the US 51/Beltline

Let me tell you the tale of this bridge. It's a story of how
politics and power thwarted an earlier bicycle connection between
Madison and McFarland.
In the 1970s I lived on the east side of Madison. I organized
running events and I wanted a good map of local streets, so I bought
