Your heavier gasoline powered bike, with a mounted 2 to 5 horse power engine traveling at 30 to 35 miles per hour could cut the average bicyclist in half in a collision causing very “serious and potential life changing injuries”.

Why aren’t you convinced that you are a liability?

Yeah, we know, you never ride your moped at top speed.
Most bicyclist attending Bike Party over the past 2 years, know that isn’t true.
No amount of sweet talking here is going to change minds.
Please review the responses to your “motorized” comment above.

Quit being selfish and just give it up dude.
Get on a bicycle and you will be a great help to Bike Party Volunteers.
You will be one less “dreadful safety hazard” for stressed out BIRDs to worry about during Bike Party — their burden will be lessened without you “motorized bikes” thrown into the mix.

I didn’t mind having the motor bikes there. Didn’t care much for the fumes but I only smelled them for a few seconds and they sped up past us. They weren’t driving erratic and even saw one of the guys helping a rather large person up a hill.

This is such an awesome event and would be a shame to target a specific group because a few people were unhappy. There’s worse problems to worry about like people cutting in and out and riding wrecklessly.
