The new entity should be up and running by Jan 1, 2021 and will seek funding to study the fatal crashes in a more formal fashion. It will gather all data- crash reports, witness statements, photos, videos, crash reconstruction data, forensic reports, alcohol data and more. The group will study this data, catalog it and report its findings. The data & reports will help cyclists, legislators, media understand what is happening on Ohio's roads, and why. Steve can usually be found on one of two bikes... his Bike Friday World Tourist, with e-assist, or his custom painted Independent Fabrication Club Racer...

I was invited to speak at the Ohio Active Transportation Conference... I was up at Zero Dark Thirty to drive up to Dublin and sat on a panel with a couple other folks to talk about E-bikes, E-motos, problems and solutions...

I didn't realize how much time the other panelists were going to spend on defining e-bikes under the law so I ended up Riffing from there instead of going through my entire presentation... Having done 3 hours on this stuff is good preparation, as is playing jazz... when someone says TAKE IT you've got to learn to create something solid from the silence!

A fun time was had by all!

Aaaaaaaaand... here we go... cue the spooky music...

I mean I get that we should be looking at high speed electric devices, but we should NOT allow transportation policy to be led to that by "emergency room doctors" who are seeing an uptick in injuries...
BUT
if we ARE looking at injuries for policy, let's take a quick peek at the carnage that CARS AND TRUCKS do...

A new Illinois law regulating electric bikes, scooters and other electric mobility devices is set to take effect Jan. 1, creating statewide standards that supporters say will improve safety while critics argue the measure either goes too far or does not go far enough.
