DCUM readers can't tell the difference between a bicycle, ATV, and a dirt bike. [/quote]

‘Twas a joke. Bicycle riders are so damn earnest. [/quote]

I'm not joking. DCUM posters claim that DC law is so ambiguous, a dirt bike could be considered a bicycle. It has two wheels and isn't a motorcycle, therefore it's a bicycle and legal on the street.[/quote]
This goes over 40 MPH and had pedals. You tell me how it should be regulated.

Motorcycle. It has a motor. It goes over 25mph. I know, that's confusing for you.[/quote]

That is definitely not a motorcycle. It’s an eBike. [/quote]

I've noticed motorcyclists behaving more like plain old cyclists, ie ignoring stop signs and traffic lights, going around cars when they're apparently moving too slowly, going between lanes of cars stopped at traffic lights, etc.

I guess this not-obeying-traffic laws stuff is becoming contagious. The broken window theory of transportation, perhaps. [/quote]
