Meanwhile in New Jersey... the real beneficiaries will be insurance companies.
Btw, this will be a crushing blow to the few local independent bikeshops still standing. All they ever did was sell compliant eBikes and now face their trade being devastated.

Remove the alpha cities and Minneapolis stands out.
Add in the top park system and bike network which is really bikeped, plus one of the most unique elevated pedestrian systems in the world and we are top tier.
What drags us down are citizens deeply addicted to car dependency.

What has happened to the Red Bank NJ Shrewsbury Avenue Streetscape Plan due in 2026?
Questions to town hall result in a lot of mumbling and "It's nothing to do with us..."
Hopefully the deputy mayor's new Senior Center crosswalk isn't indicative of the council's vision...

Free access is cycling's USP. It would be shameful to sell out, but there has to be another to finance the riders and teams which provide the spectacle at all levels.
One of the most effective incentives for participation and entry to a healthy and active lifestyle.
