THE POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS OF
BROAD IMPLEMENTATION OF E.
BIKES. IN RECENT YEARS CITIES
HAVE SEEN A SURGE IN ACCIDENTS
INVOLVING E. BIKES AND REGULAR
BICYCLES RESULTING IN INJURIES
AND OCCASIONALLY DEATHS. THE
RESPONSE HAS BEEN A PATCHWORK OF
REGULATIONS BY CITIES AND
COUNTIES CREATING A LACK OF
UNIFORMITY IN E. BIKE POLICY-
THE IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE TRY
TO. ENCOURAGE THE ADOPTION
ELECTRIC BICYCLES BUT WE DO SO
IN A THOUGHTFUL WAY ANTICIPATING
ANY CHALLENGES THAT THEY MIGHT
POSE I NEED TO DO THAT WE NEED
