E-bikes could get faster, more powerful and not require pedaling, in a move announced today by UKGOV. Cycling organizations are opposed to the plans.

    Huh, okay, I get the article a little better now. Sorry I’m not very familiar with rules and regulations regarding electric bikes, or even mechanical bikes for that matter.

    Where I live, the only regulation they have for bicycles actually applies to automobiles, they have to give bicyclists 3 feet of space when they pass. That’s it. No speed limits, no helmets necessary, just use common sense and don’t ride in the middle of the highway.

    I’m glad to live in a very bicycle friendly city.
