8. PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO REGULATE THE OPERATION OF E-BIKES, BICYCLES AND OTHER REGULATED MOBILITY DEVICES The proposed ordinance would establish operational, safety, and enforcement regulations for bicycles, electric bicycles, and other regulated mobility devices within the City. The intended purpose of the ordinance is to address increasing safety concerns, clarify permissible conduct, and provide enforcement tools to address unsafe riding behaviors on bicycles, e-bikes, and other regulated mobility devices. The proposed framework emphasizes behavior-based regulation, focusing on unsafe operation, rather than restricting the safe and lawful use of mobility devices.
