BLM closes 1/3 of Moab OHV trails to OHVs and e-bikes

[XXX-er]

Cause all the Canukastanians were up north.

thats how they pronounce north around here

and the tonneau cover on yer PU is a tunnel cover

[livefreerdie]

10 pages of strawmen, 2 pages of entertainment, 1 page of relevant discussion. I'll be the first to skim the actual documents I guess. As I read it, 5.5 miles of existing bike trail were newly designated for e-bike use on the east side of 191. It also says one of the reclamation options is to turn closed motorize routes into non-motorized singletrack where it matches their plan. Implementation and enforcement will take place as funding and staff allows.

Now back to politics:
The industry needs to pay for enforcement. Whichever new industry, in this case the obvious one being the companies that profit from SxS sales/rental and are putting a huge volume of new users on the landscape. It's the only way to avoid widespread closures and to differentiate good users from bad users.

Aren’t you from Vancouver? That’s like me moving to Boston and talking like Mahk?

I been far from vancover for many year , but thro in some ehs all in a mild singsong, talk to these guys and its not a real stretch to pick it up and beside we should have some fun here

I did have to ask the neighbor 3 times to repeat " tunnel cover " I guess its like a tunnel on the back of yer truck

Like big girls, mopeds are plenty of fun if you give em a try.

A true moped can be a hoot

Fat girls? Meh. Thicccc? Maybe.

SxS are street legal in Utah

Yes, if the road is designated. That was why I used the word highway. I have yet to see one flying down I-70....but you knew what I meant ;-)

Me too until this overweight guy on an E-bike passed me going up the climb towards Hazard County and crushed my sensitive and fragile ego, now I'm extremely angry and I'm posting on the Internet about my hate for bikes.

These people are literally making me look bad on strava damnit!

To be fair I offered you a sip of my slurpee as I passed.

Throttle & No pedal assist.

How about for rock climbing?

One wheel doesn't have a throttle any more than a class 1 ebike doesn't have a throttle.

This is just a huge problem in general in America. Good luck getting legislators to add responsibility for after sales issues to the manufacturer.

How do you figure?

I think they could really help my climbing... thinking about ordering one for my local crags!

There's nothing you twist or press on a one wheel to make it go faster. Speed is controlled by moving your feet and your weight. Kinda like a class 1 ebike.

[Foggy_Goggles]

Bro...it like total doesn't fit the narrative. It's not even a bike. The only thing remotely close to a class 1 e bike is a regular bike. Don't you see?

Or maybe it's just BS? I think the parameters for acceptability is "because I fucking got one!" and haters only hate because they don't.

Seems onewheel has resolved this question with a total product recall…

I was in Moab all weekend and did not have any trouble at all with people recreating on different equipment than me.

Me too. I partook in various forms of motorized and non-motorized recreation including motorcycles, SxSs, MTBing, and even 4 wheeling in my turn-of-the-century SUV. Not one time was I ridiculed, ashamed, or persecuted. Maybe it was because I didn't bring my E-bike. Oh well, next time.

Dude, you're so bent out of shape about our mopeds. I love it!
