Here's a chance to influence USA eBike laws

They make it kind of a pain (have to print & mail comments) but it's better than not having any say at all. I printed the document and will take notes as I go before I write up the comments and send them in.

I got this through peopleforbikes.org email.

I appreciate you posting this, Smaug. However, I want to point out that comments can be submitted directly on the form that the above link points to. A link to the actual document is on that same page. I like to whittle down my comments to the minimal word count that I can, hoping that it is actually read.

It's a typo. Once you start to read the document, you'll see that this is not true. In the early pages, they say they only accept comments by snail mail and cannot guarantee the privacy of your information that you put in the optional fields in the form.

I submitted my comments, and have a thank-you, along with a comment ID number. From the document itself; "If you wish to comment on this document, you are encouraged to do so through the NPS Planning, Environment, and Public Comment system...". "You may also mail or hand deliver comments...". As with all pubic comments, what you submit can be read by others. I don't see a problem.
