Meanwhile in Red Bank NJ, on Fb, atm... I don't know how this "questionnaire" was been compiled.
It's leading, and has no real idea on how bicycling infrastructure is designed, nor how you introduce it into a community.
I'm not certain it's worth responding.

New Jersey PDs continue to post strikingly similar notices regarding the state's inept and pernicious eBike rules on social media.
This year, 43 people have died on NJ roads, not one of them hit by, or riding an "e-Bike". Every single person either in or hit by a car.
Priorities?

Yes... Imagine...
Imagine if NJ police departments put as much effort into enforcing or publicizing any other safety violation as they are the new e-bike law. Even if e-bikes are registered and insured and the riders are licensed they’re still going to be run over and killed by distracted drivers.

That's one person every 22hrs and 12mins...
Here we are on Day 38/365/2026 and 43 people have died on New Jersey roads, 16 of them were pedestrians.

Not one of them was killed by an eBike.

Do you see what the problem is?

Close passing laws don't make much difference... Any bikeped campaigner knows this.
There are more effective strategies...

Red Bank NJ PD have come up with this graphic... In common with most NJ PDs it has that polished look, but a number of factual inaccuracies and important omissions similar to most other PD postings. Curious...

Murphy signs the most ill-considered, draconian and unnecessary electric bicycle laws anywhere in the world.
Laws existed to regulate the use of electric motorcycles...
PS: 60%+ of e-Bike users are in the lowest income levels.
PPS: ICE enabled to target anyone riding an e-Bike in NJ.

There is a lot of misinformation & confusion about e-Bikes in Red Bank NJ, and the new electric motorcycle legislation is about to stir that pot even more.
The new laws failed to take into account actual facts and data, and even the already existing perfectly adequate, yet unenforced laws.

Meanwhile in Red Bank NJ, please call Gov Murphy and ask him to veto S4834/A6235.
Thx
Gov. Murphy still hasn't made a decision on whether to sign or veto the terrible bill that the NJ Assembly passed to require insurance and registration of low-speed e-bikes. If you haven't called or texted him yet, there is still time! (I will stop pestering people about this soon...)
REMINDER: Call @govmurphy.bsky.social and tell him to veto the low-speed e-bike bill!

As of today, 01/16/2026, @10.00am, there have been 18 fatalities this year on New Jersey roads. Every one involving a car.
Think how much worse it would be if the state hadn't banned in-category e-Bikes.

I can't even express my thoughts on this dire and incompetent e-Bike bill based in a complete failure to understand reality or consider the future of equitable, environmentally friendly and safe communities... Wave bye-bye... Oh and ICE? Another string to their bow... Well done.
Even worse news: the NJ bill requiring insurance and registration of all e-bikes, including low-speed e-bikes, has now passed the state assembly as well. Vote was Yes: 53 No: 10 Not Voting: 16 Abstain: 1.
The bill now goes to Gov. Murphy's desk for signature into law. He could veto it. Doubtful.
Bad news: It looks like Democrats in the NJ State Senate have passed S4834, which requires insurance and registration for all e-bikes. Vote was Yes: 28 No: 10 Not Voting: 2. Companion bill likely to get vote in state assembly today. www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/...

But Trenton will vote to ban eBikes tomorrow.

The state is about to pass e-Bike bill (S4834/A6235) which is dangerous in terms of bikeped safety, mobility, environment and mitigates against equitable communities.
S4834 is based on hearsay, mis-information, un-informed comment and has no reference to either facts or data.

Fb has become a cesspit of petty and vengeful "community" groups and dire AI produced twaddle and dis/misinformation.
In particular a load of apparent cycling advocacy groups which serve as a platform for dangerous pedestrian and cyclist hating car drivers to spout their intent to murder.

When will our elected officials withdraw this terrible proposal. The state (and Red Bank NJ) has had the power to deal with out-of-category electric motorcycles for years.
They have chosen to do nothing about it. Now this.
Result; Driver kills e-Bike rider. Solution? Ban e-Bikes.

NJ Legislature continues its campaign, confusing e-Bikes with electric motorcycles, and victims as perpetrators...
These laws wouldn't have even prevented the sad incidents highlighted.

Local gubmint seems to be going overboard on questionnaires for residents. Latest is Monmouth County NJ with a road safety quiz, but as seems usual now, only accessible with a Fb tag...
It's hard to see what useful information the questionnaire will evoke...
