I will have a voice that will reach those who feel responsiblilty to regulating this "hobby" - - - ************ - - - you will find your pass time legislated out of existance
What a moronic and contrapositive statement Old Bob.
For some it is their only means of transport and others their hobby and it is being legislated out of existence whether we ride our motorized bicycles or have them sitting in the garage, never to see the light of day, and it has nothing to do with a safety issue, because ambitious politicians will use any topic as a political platform to further their political career, especially if they can make mileage out of keeping the public safe from a non existent threat (like the majority of motorized bicycle users), which is a tried and tested method, many times over.
Yes, there will be idiots out there who turn public perception of our transport/hobby into a train wreck, but no amount of legislation will stop their actions, as they don't obey the current laws and regulations in the first place; a complete ban will make no difference to their attitude.
The old adage applies: if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns
What is most distressing is that you
"Old Bob" are contributing to the ammunition placed in legislators hands by pushing for ever tighter laws against motorized bicycles.
Considering that you don't ride, nor own a motorized bicycle, it could be seen by some that your motives for being here are not in keeping with those who enjoy or have a desperate use for motorized bicycles.
