OPINION \u2014 Marc Lamber is absolutely correct that Arizona\u2019s e-bike laws are broken<\/a> and cities can\u2019t fix them alone.<\/p>\n

I have seen too many close calls and have been involved in too many close calls with e-vehicles.<\/p>\n

I am 83 years old and am still very active riding human-powered bicycles. I have encountered e-vehicles on the canals, sidewalks and at Dreamy Draw.<\/p>\n

A lot of e-vehicle operators have no respect for pedestrians, horses or people operating non-e-vehicles. A lot of families use our canals and Dreamy Draw for exercise and relaxation expecting safety while using these areas.<\/p>\n

I agree with Marc Lamber’s entire article. Our society does not need more hazards but more safety. Life is stressful enough.<\/p>\n
