More barriers to cycling means more cars which means more dead cyclists. Help us defeat this terrible anti-safety bill.

Okay - require kids to have a safety certificate. How do you enforce that? E-bikes aren't big, motorized vehicles that have to be registered like snowmobiles. They look like any other bike for the most part.

Cops can't just pull over everyone who looks like they might be a kid because they might be on an e-bike and that e-bike might be a class-3 that might be self-powering while pedaled over 28mph or have a motor over 700 watts and the possible teenage might not have taken a safety certificate.
