Mr. Chainring
Plenty of people talking themselves into this. All new opportunities for people to screw themselves into the ground. With a possible closing rate of 40mph instead of 24 it should be interesting when the lawsuits start flying. I probably will not be around to see it. The position of the park superintendent is "no". I may take up hunting (and by the logic here on sunday), I need an excuse to get some guns.

Can someone translate this for me? :shrug:

"Nonsense" is a better translation.

I break this one all the time:

7:2-2.19 Indecency; immorality; profanity
(b) Urinating or defecating in any area other than places designated for such purposes is prohibited
I take offense to this law. If bears and deer can come into my yard, eat my garbage, landscaping, and shit on my lawn, then the least I can do is return the favor.

And as a broader question, if e-bikes are so great, why aren’t you starting your kids off on one? Why not let the NICA kids train on them to you know, “get more laps”?

How? Not questioning you, just the possible meaning of the translation.

lawsuits have a way of evoking extreme responses.
I understand all the arguments about not punishing the innocent, but we all know this is NJ.

Steve isn't interested in defending mountain bikers that break the rules just because they can.
kinda the vibe i got. not sure about where the gun thing came from, i guess there is poaching in the park,
and it was a parallel?

Scudder Falls Bridge bike path opened. Pretty big deal as it is the only ridable crossing between Philly and Easton? Anyways, no ebikes

E-bike restrictions aside, I've been looking forward to this opening. Now I just have to figure out how to get there on the NJ side without riding on 29 or that gawd-forsaken tow path.

Read the sign - it says "driven motorized vehicles". So just walk your ebike across if you're afraid of getting nailed.
