I wonder what their reasoning is behind banning non-powered bikes? It's got very steep hills, so there's a good chance that bicycles wouldn't be very practical, but seems strange to ban them.
- detourdog 1y agoCould be a speed limit thing.
- ndsipa_pomu 1y agoI doubt that they have speed limits if they don't allow motorised vehicles.
- detourdog 1y agoI agree, If everyone is on foot there is no need for regulating the speed.
- anticensor 1y agoSome places actually have pedestrian speed limits.
- dogma1138 1y agoNarrow streets and very steep slopes there is absolutely no way to safely cycle anywhere there.
- polonbike 1y agoBikes, even muscular ones, can be annoying to pedestrians on thin hiking paths. My take is that even if they allow one/a few/a capped number, then it's out of the bottle, and people will try to game the system one way or another
- sidewndr46 1y agoWhat is a muscular bike?
- RainyDayTmrw 1y agoPresumably the poster wanted to differentiate e-bikes (electrical motor assisted) with fully human powered (traditional) bikes.

- loire280 1y agoI've started calling them "acoustic" bikes, like non-electric guitars. Not technically accurate, but folks almost always get it and smile.
- jpalawaga 1y agoAnalog bikes
- MarkusWandel 1y agoHow strange that a non-electric bike now needs a special prefix. To me "bike" is the traditional kind and "e-bike" is the motorized kind. Has it really tilted that far? Not where I live, where probably 10-20% of bikes are electric. So far.
