be afraid?

being afraid was why i went electric from a shop.
being passionate about my hobby, was why I switched back.
being afraid again, maybe why I go back to electric.

either that or ride at night only.

i'm conflicted and confused.

I heard on the radio a few days ago, that there is a 'proposal' to ban petrol assisted bikes altogether in Tasmania. There was a meeting down in Hobart about it, I believe. Battery assist bikes, typically chinese, are no kinder to the planet, but the politicians wont be able to see that. Does anyone know what's going on with the law?

Hey, I just thought of something. When politicians banned our Pump Actions and Semi Automatics 10 years ago, they paid well for the "offending" articles. Would the benign dictatorship offer a "bike buy back" this time around? Was a precendent set? Any bush lawers out there?

They, "the royal they", banned the E-bike without batting an eye-lid.
So, any precedence you're after would be blown away by that, I would guess. I'm not a lawyer, and generally anyone else's opinions on the law count for nothing. Especially when dealing with the RTA.

If you see this link,

The picture labelled. Small motorcycle with pedals, was not on the previous
version of this law. It was updated just for the E-Bike and other similar small scooters. A couple of Business's went bust, and many individuals suddenly
lost their legal ride. My disgust for this change, was/is off the scale.

Bikies

Here is the article.

Apparently it is too dangerous to ride a bike over 40-50kms per hour.

We host the Tour Down Under in South Australia so I am going to contact the organizers and ask for an immediate ban on this event here due to it being unlawful and dangerous.

I was going to write many strong words but didn't bother.

It would have looked something like this - **** u***gly so ****is **** th***at ***y *** you *****h**ave a ***problem?

We are being treated as if we are outlaw bikie gangs.

very glad we dont have that up here in canada! that would suck! and i beg to differ i have great control at 40kph, but i think that it should be a decent bike if you intend to go that fast, a bike in access of $1k is a good or atleast real good rims and tires aswell as breaks and a strong frame, but i hpe they dont get strict up here, as far as i know im the only gas mber in all of dundas, never seen another person besides those e bikes,

A rider of a power-assisted pedal cycle does not have to hold a licence, however it is compulsory to
wear an approved bicycle helmet and obey the same traffic laws as bicyclists.

did you do it to yourself ???

did you do it to yourself ??? due to high speeds on MBs ???

I think thats why that thread was started
the Safe Top Speed on a MB is ??
most there are saying under 30mph

high speeds are known to bring the pooolice
we need to always look like a slow to mid speed bicycle
never -- a real fast bicycle
