Summary
Juneau’s brand-new mountain bike park, Thunder Mountain, is already facing controversy as electric motorcycles—powerful, fast, and destructive—are damaging trails and endangering riders. One rider suffered a concussion in a near-collision, sparking urgent safety concerns. Built with millions and volunteer sweat, the trails aren’t built to handle these machines, leaving crews too afraid to maintain them. City leaders are now racing to regulate e-motos: one proposal bans them from motorized zones with $150 fines, while another would impose stricter rules, driver’s licenses, and even impoundment with $300 penalties. The debate centers on balancing innovation with public safety—and who gets to ride where. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
