The 5 St SW cycle track was closed for one block south of 7 Av SW just after 9 AM for no apparent reason and with no apparent detour. 🤷♂️

I've been rambling about this for a long time. Transport Canada abdicated responsibility for defining (and thus importing) e-bikes to the provinces and now we have this absolute wild west where it's legal to buy and import virtually everything. 1/3
1/ I saw this video about the really, really, bad New Jersey e-bike law that's on the governor's desk. The presenter does a good job of describing the problem with e-motorbikes, why they get confused with e-bikes, and makes a case for licensing…

NJ Governor has signed the ebike law. 🤦♂️
The updated regulations apply to all electric bicycles Class 1, 2 & 3.
Owners must hold a driver's license or be at least 15 years old with a motorized bicycle license, and all e-bikes must be registered and insured.

There can be no more normal. No more “but my kids like Disney” vacations. No more “but it’s such a good conference”. No more appeasement.

New NJB video ends with a reminder that if you want change in your City… you have to let your City councillor know what you want changed, and do it regularly!
This is true in Calgary too, but you also need to 311 and reference the 311 ticket in your email.

Seems like New Jersey is about to reclassify all e-bikes as electric motorcycles (requiring a license, insurance, motorcycle helmet, etc.). Crazy!
The bill was passed but the governor hasn’t signed it yet.

Heads up #yycBike, looks like temporary berms have closed off this section of pathway. Not indicated on pathway map officially.
I’m guessing it’s to protect Parkdale Blvd from flooding if the water main breaks.
