@rvaughnmd nyc is really making compliance hard on this stuff. A 15 mph ebike rule where the rest of the country has a 20mph class 1 and 2 system. Now pedal bikes are supposed to hold a 15 mph speed limit? I don’t have a speedo visible ever on my bike, but i know that i quite casually exceed this speed at times on rides. Now to bike in central park i’m expected to strap a phone to my handlebars to make sure im not exceeding the speed limit?

@timmy It's pretty obvious that they don't care about the needs of cyclists. Punishing what is considered an annoying minority is good politics in their way of thinking.
