When I build my next bike, I'm going to register it as a motorcycle, even if it still looks like a bicycle. But for now, they'll have to catch me to harass me.
I still like the idea of more people building fast bikes and breaking the stupid laws though. If more people see neat electric bikes that can keep up with traffic, which is a safer way to ride, then the possibility will increase that manufacturers that have the resources to back intelligent laws will want to build more capable bikes. If everyone rides around boring, slow, 20mph bikes that are in everybody's way, the laws are going to get more oppressive because more people are going to see ebikes in a negative light.
So, I'm also calling BS on the felony for riding a bike crap. If it's not BS, it's time for some Anon type action against the city of Fort Collins.
I'm really sick of people talking about stupid laws that make no sense and people allowing themselves to be harassed because of them instead of taking steps to show the public the potential of electric two wheeled transportation and doing what they can to get sensible laws put in place instead.
