Outlawing electrical mountain bikes in Washington?

[aer212]

So if it's about not having to work as hard as the guy who walks in I guess that means riding a horse should also be banned?

That’s what I was getting at with my post.

Holy funk it’s not legal period....but carry on with your BS.....

No doubt.

If you have to try that hard...I don't get it.

Unless it comes in Vias and eliminates testicular numbness , it can take its place in the Smithsonian for all I care.

 Why do do so many people care does less damage than a horse , your still riding a bike . Mind your business and hunt on

This is not about electric bikes but related ( I think ) A place that I used to goose hunt was non-motorized access. I thought about using an old wheelchairs motor and batt's on my cart. Asked a warden about it when he checked me once and he said It would be considered motorized and I would be ticketed. Electric or not, If it has a motor of any kind it wasn't allowed.

The guys saying they are going to call the authorities because someone is riding an electric bike in the woods....lol! Don't forget your hall monitor sash before you head out for deer season!

[gaddy]

Did he just say hall monitor ? That takes me back some years.

Just wondering what laws should be followed..........

Don't worry won't forget the sash,picture of your licence plate , and the text number for the warden.

I have one question for everybody driving motor vehicles behind locked gates.If all the gates where to open for everybody would you still take your atv,electric bicycles, when there was about fifty pickup trucks in there.And pumpkin patches of people as far as the eye can see.

Story time !
I just got permission to hunt some private land .Land owner tells me that he has had so many problems keeping atv,and trespassers out , that don't be surprised to run into other people on his land.All his roads are gated locked and posted no hunting no tresspassing.So I asked him how many people have permission ,he says I'm the second person that has ever came to get permission.Then he asked me about a few landmarks and spots that where inside the gates ,i said I don't know cause I came to get permission first .He said go on in and hunt ,gave me permission,maps of the 600 acres.

Long story short,a little respect for someone property can go a long way.

Very outdated ethics on your part.

I read earlier that you're supposed to scoff at laws you don't like.

Funny, but all the guys I see on quads and motorcycles after I pushed my bicycle 8 miles up hill say the same thing.

Some laws are better than others.
Not sure which laws you may think I have broken .But I don't think you know me personally.My ethics are better than most.

Bud 99 percent of our state is a patch already
Just saying but it's a fact Bycycle  does less damage than a horse . So with that said  why not mind your business and hunt on its a dang bike  and of all the forest service guys , wardens, and timber guys I've ran into they don't care as long as your pedaling

Your arguments are not unheard.But if you think about the bigger picture of no motorized vehicles has a lot to do with liability and insurance of timber company.Also safety of contractor's working behind locked gates.I'm sure somewhere in time some atv or even pickup,log truck,had a little run in .And hurt access for the rest of us.The soil ,tread lightly,gates locked to protect wildlife,is to make  feel better about all the timber taken.
It's a rule that kinda of all around win+win for the timber company's.

Now this topic or thread seems to be getting a little ugly,Respect property owners rules,you may get a ticket like it or not.It does hurt hunters access in the future ,soon the whole state will require access pass .
Done with topic , you all have a great nite.
Good luck on Draws .
