NC's e-bike law changes Dec. 1. How western Wake towns are responding

Apex is moving toward new e-bike rules that could expand helmet requirements for younger riders and clarify where electric bicycles can travel. The proposed changes come as a new North Carolina law takes effect Dec. 1, changing which e-bikes are permitted on roads and greenways. The new law also will require helmets for Class 3 e-bike riders and passengers under 18. Towns can also require helmets for riders and passengers under 18 on Class 1 and 2 e-bikes, but the new law does not mandate those additional requirements statewide. A separate, existing state law already requires bicycle helmets for anyone under 16. Apex’s Public Safety Committee on Thursday, Nov. 5, backed limited amendments to existing bicycle regulations, rather than a comprehensive e-bike ordinance. “Making huge regulatory changes at this stage may be the wrong thing. We may be over-regulating,” council member Ed Gray told The News & Observer after the meeting. But Gray also supports a uniform helmet requirement for younger riders, saying it would be easier to understand and enforce. The Town Council must approve any amendments, which it could do as soon as Dec. 17. The new rules Under the new state law, Class 1 bikes provide motor

What Gov. Josh Stein says is the message NC voters sent state politicians

The day after Democrats flipped the North Carolina House as part of a national blue wave, Democratic Gov. Josh Stein said that voters sent a message that they want “balance” in state government. Stein talked about working together with Republicans, ending partisan gerrymandering and what message North Carolina voters sent lawmakers about what they want them to do. The message North Carolina voters sent “Last night was an incredible night for the country, of course, but especially so for us here in North Carolina,” Stein told reporters during a news conference outside the Executive Mansion in downtown Raleigh. “The voters of North Carolina made their voices heard loudly and clearly. They want balance. They want common sense in their government.” “The voters want leaders who work together on their behalf. Our job as those elected leaders is to listen and to work together because we can work together to lower costs.” On getting rid of the ‘political cancer’ of gerrymandering Stein told reporters he would support an independent redistricting commission following years of Republicans gerrymandering districts in their favor. “There are a few causes of the political cancers that we suffer from in this country. Partisan gerrymandering is certainly one,”
