New Smyrna Beach cracks down on e-bikes, scooters

NEW SMYRNA BEACH — As electric bikes and motorized scooters become increasingly common on Florida streets and sidewalks, New Smyrna Beach is moving to limit where they can be ridden. City commissioners passed a revised ordinance at a meeting Nov. 10 to create tighter regulations and limit where riders can use e-bikes throughout the city. “The goal is not to prohibit or punish, but to make everybody work cohesively together to enjoy things safely throughout the community,” Chris Kirk, the city’s chief of police, said at the meeting. What does the new, revised ordinance outline? After an Oct. 1 community meeting on the issue, where many residents expressed concerns over e-bikes’ potential danger to pedestrians, Kirk took suggestions and input before presenting the proposed final ordinance to city commissioners Nov. 10. They passed it unanimously. The ordinance says riders can no longer use e-bikes, motorized scooters and what are sometimes referred to as micromobility devices, on sidewalks, bicycle paths or multi-use paths in restricted areas where they could be a hazard to pedestrians. Micromobility devices include one-wheel or uni-wheel devices. Restricted areas include Flagler Avenue and the city's mainland special parking districts, including Canal Street and the surrounding downtown area.

Ground stop lifted, but thousands remain stranded at U.S. airports

Although a nationwide ground stop that brought all U.S air traffic to a standstill had been lifted late Nov. 13, thousands of passengers remained stranded across the U.S. on Nov. 14, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Brad Keselowski exits Daytona race at a crossroads, which includes a roller coaster

You know the old saying about factual issues: “There are lies, damned lies and statistics.” The stats tell us Wednesday night’s fifth-place finish was Brad Keselowski’s best road-course result since a third at Sonoma way back in 2017. What they leave out: There were only 12 drivers in the field for the half-hour race, all in identical Mustang Dark Horse Rs, and a few of those spun out. Nevertheless, Kez seemed happy as he sat on the pit wall after the Ford Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic on Daytona’s Rolex 24 road course. In spite of the obvious: After ending his tenure with RFK Racing, he apparently doesn’t know when and where he’ll climb back into a racecar. “It’s all part of the adventure,” he said through a big smile. “Highs and lows. I keep telling people it’s like a roller coaster. When the highs and lows stop, it means you’re dead. I’m not dead, I’m ready for the high. I’m sure we’ll be on the upside here real soon.” Brad Keselowski: Daytona road course is no 'gimmick' Keselowski’s only other venture around Daytona’s road course was the 2021 preseason Clash, when he finished on the lead lap but
