Both E-Bikes and Pedal Bikes need more control by Bend Police. Start issuing tickets instead of Warnings to violators and impound bikes for repeat offenders.

Their should not be any bikes allowed on and roadway that does not have a designated bike lane or at least some shoulder space! It is dangerous irritating, problematic and they should not have any right, they dont pay any road tax, gas taxes, nothing! Totailly backwards!

Yes. I bike but have seen a trend in riders ignoring traffic laws and safety rules. More & more the "elitist" mentality of riders, who seem to think laws don't apply to them. This is being exasperated w/new riders jumping into the e-bike craze!

It's up to the parents to tell their kids what the rules are. If the parents don't know then they should look it up. I see kids riding their bikes on the side walks all the time. Doesn't make it right.

Is someone who lets their pet off-leash in restricted areas considered a 'bad pet owner?'

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?

BV is not a good quality restaurant for the cost. Have never liked them and always like Del Taco.
