They are already illegal and we do not need any more laws. We need existing laws to be enforced. Remember the expired temp tags and license plates? Maybe we should also have a law against them. Oh, wait, we do, what happened there? I remember, do you? This is surreal.

They don't need banned. They do need to be licensed and insured like any other motorized vehicle.

Derek Estes

Because some people can't afford to get a car and a mini bike is a cheap way to get around town no different from an electric scooter as long as they're not loud and obnoxious.

Michelle Awaranti

Because there's nothing fun to do in jeff city and when people find something to do it is taken away its enjoyable to ride motor bikes and its also transportation for others

No, because I always use the Columbia airport. Who wants to drive to K.C. or dirty St. Louis?

Laws implemented in other states allowing bikers to yield at stop signs (which is essentialy what drivers in Missouri do in practice anyway) actually decrease crashes and it let's bikers avoid needless stop and gos. Bikers aren't going to get in front of a 2 ton box of metal going 34 mph.

No, and furthermore, anyone, in this city at least who rides a bicycle anywhere other than on the trails, or their lawn, needs to be on suicide watch.

Steve Baumann

This is contradictory to the cities "zero pedestrian deaths" goals and should not be entertained. If approved, it may also further feed the arrogance of the modern street cyclist, something unacceptable in a peaceful civilization. ;)

Cyclists need to stop just like every one else. Police need to enforce the law and ticket cyclists who run stop signs.

Wally Pfeffer

Follow the same rules...otherwise accidents happen.

Will Mason

Bicycles should be able to change "stop" into "yield when motorcycles are allowed to lane filter at traffic lights. Bicycles already can lane filter.
