News channels have just reported that the NSW state authorities are changing the laws to effectively make petrol motorised bicycles illegal !
OK, that doesn't affect us, however there was also a casual comment that the same changes would also outlaw any electric bicycle that is not "Pedalec" controlled, and also any capable of more than 25 km/hr (15mph) ! And possibly even non commercially sold Ebikes !!!
...that is bad news.
This is a knee jerk reaction to recent accidents and no doubt some lobbying from the influential pedestrian organisations.
I am still trying to track down some official statement to verify this crap.
