Another on, up top where white and blue meet.6

I’d even suggest it’s getting a little dry. The tire tire selection struggle is real.

Also up, in erskine

Garden variety troll. Ignored

@thegock point taken, we’re not solving anything here and the basic question I asked is not being answered. Notifications off. Enjoy all.

From that very same link. Not at all grey. https://njbikeped.org/micromobility/ Published by Rutgers, on behalf of the state. Consistent with everything I have seen on the subject. Exactly the same as NY. And yes, county and town park rules will differ.

So, in other words, screw the laws you don’t like. Got it. Trailforks in NJ is accurate re: permitted use. Ringwood currently lists Jorba as the source of info.

We have been having a different discussion then, I have only suggested NY and NJ State parks. For which I have shared the most up to date info, including pics of the new no e-bikes sign at Sterling Forest, and the marking on Trail-forks for Ringwood which clearly states no ebike. This has...

Truth

@mattybfat Definition of shared use is key. I have read it as paved/crushed stone surface, specifically calling out “not natural surface such as dirt or mulch” Per NY (written the same for NJ state parks) Paved and Improved Trails and Paths and Boardwalks Class 1 and 2 electric bicycles may...

Feel free to research, it’s posted in the Sterling thread. Sorry if you think I’m questioning your manhood, I really don’t care about the “have you ridden one” POV, that is not my point at all. Won’t own one. Ever.

Agreed on cost of bell, but 10mm difference in crank arm, different story - lol

For the “bell curious”, here’s the Knog Oi. Barely noticible, nicely “engineered”. Only omits audible sound when you want it to (won’t ring as a result of rough terrain). But $20-30 is tough to swallow for a bell. File

To be clear, nothing to do with law, just serendipty in guess. But I have had situations where I was bombing a downhill and came up on a bear way too quickly. Fortunately they scare easily and it ran off. It could have easily gotten scared and reacted differently, so now I have a bell and...

I live in an area with bear, wasnt aware of the law but in compliance because bikes are quiet and it’s easy to spook bear on a bike. Bells create awareness, but are goofy. So yes. I have a bell. Probably too fancy for the purpose it serves, but oh well. I also wear a helmet and have been...

This is anarchy and will lead to confrontation. Exactly what I am hoping defined and observed rules/laws will help avoid. The automotive laws you refer to being ignored also may be contributing to a rise in road rage. So, this is not a take I agree with at all. I am an advocate of civil...

My experience is different, both in observation and practice. I always yield to climbers and find that same courtesy returned almost universally, logic being the climber is doing all the work, and disrupting the pace is much more disruptive. Perhaps this is micro regional? Also, re e-bikes...

@pooriggy Agree with you. The number of people on trails with e-bikes and little to no understanding of trail ettiquette seems very high. I am not talking about people who have a history of riding bikes and also ride an emtb, more so the people who bought the emtb as an only bike and just...

The state laws are very clear for NY and NJ state parks . Ebikes of all classes are not permitted on natural surface trails in state parks (dirt, mulch and etc.). It’s very clearly explained IMO. Local parks (county and town) can draft their own rules. Ebikes are permitted on paved and crushed...

Agree that most avg people could not tell the difference, but I still think the question is valid. People used to be anti-mtb because they thought we were rowdy and destructive. Times have changed thanks to education at all levels and a lot of volunteer effort by orgs like JORBA etc. Probably...
