Where do you ride?

I've read this same page as well. I'm not an expert by any means but here's my thinking.

The wording seems to try to protect rides more than it acts as a restriction. Basically, the state is looking to keep moped riders from getting into situations where higher speed traffic could impact a moped driver.

The text does not seem to outlaw riding pedal assist vehicles in public parks or bike paths (just not on public roads, parking lots or sidewalks).

To fit within legal limits I believe that you'd (a) need to hit a reasonable speed and (b) possibly have head and tail lights and turning signals.

Nitro said he'd get more details on Wed so we'll have to wait and hear what the real scoop is.

I live in michigan and I have concerns about getting across roads like the east beltline in areas where there are no sidewalks as I try to stick to the sidewalks where there is no area to the right of the white line.

I am hoping the new trail along M6 they are planning will suite my needs unlkess they post signs --no motorised vehicals -- anyone think I can stay under the radar on trails like this?

Almost all the roads I need to get to work are posted 45 mph,although I have a assembled Moped permit I dont like riding in traffic!

well it must mean that Iam a outlaw of MBC because I have a distance of about 6 miles to work to ride and where their is a sidewalk , Iam on it - just for safety and if their is a pedestrian on that sidewalk by all means they have the right of way and if no sidewalk I stay to the right as much as possible. we dont have any bike lanes in Decatur ,IL and I ride across town to get to work. as for the fuzz, I've ridden passed a couple and have'nt been bothered, "ghost pedal pass the fuzz"!

I ride my bike everywhere except the interstates. Not legal there. In Arkansas a motorized bicycle may be operated on streets without registering as long as it has working peddles, a horn, head light, tail light and signal lights. Must be 50cc or smaller(this is the only part I ignore). My engine has no markings that tell it's size. I doubt any cops will want to pull the head to measure the cylinder.
