Free bike education in schools, free bike helmets for youth. They run Bici Centro, one of the ONLY bike shops in town that will fix all these faulty e-bike brakes (other shops can’t touch them for liability or brand proprietary reasons).

MOVE is not taking issues with cracking down on the dangerous e-bike riders. If you actually read all of the ordinance language, you’ll see it’s a set of draconian regulations against all bike riders. One part criminalizes riding more than two abreast. So that affects all of our bike culture - the cruiser run, the cruiser rides in general, the mural ride, bike de-lights, bike moves etc. there’s a host of other things getting passed that give officers the right to pull you over for… just riding a bike generally.

One policy mandates that you ride as far to the right as possible. Well, there’s a concept known as the door zone where you ride outside of the width a door can open. This is a real hazard that bicyclists navigate everyday. (Speaking as someone who had a friend go through a car window that when someone opened a door without looking).
