Sometimes the things we want, brings about the rule of "unintended consequences" and this seems to be the case here. The state legalizing MB sounds great until the local government begins to use the club. I guess that some believed it necessary to pass ordnances that differentiate MB from mopeds. It would have been nice if the city had allowed another 5 mph but I'm sure they thought that as long as MB could use the bike lanes, 20 mph was a prudent safety move.
I willing to bet that no one on the City Council is a MB rider, therefore not knowledgeable of the machines. Many decisions made by all levels of government, are sometimes quite arbitrary. Much to be said for flying under the radar!
If memory serves me, this isn't the first such occurrence that has happened in a Arizona municipality, on this forum. I believe the other one was a different city but very similar in the issues. Guess you had better learn to enjoy 19 mph or be ready for the consequences. Too bad guys.
