That's right, mickmcd, because what happens in the USA will never travel or have any influence over decisions made in the rest of the sporting world.

Until all those E-bikers from Washington show up, then it’ll be overrun.

Good wish they would do the same in Suffolk(UK) at least for anyone who's not disabled or seriously old.

@mickmcd - Easy there.

I thought it was an interesting development that shows one perspective on the debate. I'm not offering any comment. I am only suggesting that it's an interesting read.

You might choose to read it and incorporate the information into the context of the debate on access. Or not.

Had a read. It's not a ban. It is the introduction of regulation (some of which is akin to what we have over here already). Seems more cautious in terms of both road and off road use though… perhaps it'll loosen up in future on an area by area basis? Perhaps our regs will work the other way, and get tighter on an area by area basis?
