Petition to ban e-bikes @ Lowers...
- Thread starter casa_mugrienta
- Start date
Can't imagine there isn't already one pending.
Being that last I checked even something as underpowered as a 50cc scooter requires a motorcycle license and the state of CA wants to regulate the f*ck out of everything (see: we're still wearing masks months after the majority of the country moved on) the hands off approach to e-bikes seems a little odd.
Like one of the people commented on the petition: I say fcuk it all. Open it wide up. Put a full on parking lot down there. All electric vehicles welcome. Park your Tesla just a few feet from the cobblestones.
I wonder why this isn't happening, considering Sacramento's usual response to issues such as licensing and so-called public safety.
anyone want to go in $ on hiring some bums to break out a wire across the path to stop some of these goons? maybe throw some broken glass
ya'll sound like a bunch of Chad's. Has there been any accidents at Trestles yet? E/VS Analog - how do you draw that line whats aceeptable at a fucking beach of all places.
Also - some people get plenty of exercise other ways and then ride thier e-bikes.. whats the problem?
It sounds like you guys are so old - like boomers bitching about skateboards back in the 80's.
Cheaper and harder to trace if you get a 2x4 with nails sticking out "spike trap".
what ever happened with this?

Proud old grumpy guy here. Fuck those things. And get off my lawn!
If you are so lucky to have legs and the ability to use them then get to pedaling.
Already mentioned, but definitely agree, walk it, same with other spots (where you may have a key to a lock as an example), earn it a bit. I hit trestles on occasions that align with reasons to go that make sense, it's not far but never my "go to"... I will admit I do chuckle to myself at all the capable humans in their big boy rigs pulling out the same "Trestles Kit" set ups of e bike, board rack, this/that gadget...
If an e-bike ban discourages even one person from surfing Trestles, then I'm all for it.
And I don't even surf there anymore.
It's the principle of the matter.
E-bikes make it way too easy for hoards of people to show up at an already overcrowded spot.
You really want a 12-pack of pre-teens showing up from Cypress Cove everyday because of their newfound freedom?
Or would you rather they split their time and slog it out down at State beach from time to time?

But how will Noel Salas get his brother, boards, and video rig down to the beach????
Yadin and his kid King too. King Nicol (the f*ck kind of name is that anyway) needs to be pushed into at least one wave from every Lowers set. His legs need to be fresh. That goes for when his daddy pushes him into waves at Blacks too. He's going, no matter what. He is...King.
What's funny is someone got a permit to run a tram down there in the 1980s and there was significant pushback.
My LOAD how things change!

F@#k the e-bikes. Ban the cameras, surf parents, coaches, and wannabe pros.
My God, how stupid are the articles? Why do you need to ban e-bikes when they are very convenient and safe, unlike motorcycles with great speed. I wonder how such news can be passed through censorship. Don't people understand that it's not worth putting everything on the Internet! My girlfriend recently gave me an e-bike, and I constantly ride it to work and get great pleasure from it. I recently came across an article about gravel bikes on this site -- bikemountain.me, and I think soon I will get myself one too, well, or I will buy my girlfriend this thing.
