2 meter rule. you literally are not allowed to ride any path not at least 2 meters wide in parts of germany.

It’s illegal not to send it in Senderland.

My city implemented an alternating direction on some of our trails. On even numbered days, some trails are uphill only while on odd numbered days, the trails are downhill only. This was to limit the number of users injured by mountain bikers, as well as erosion.

Australia law on no handle bar larger than 700mm

How could you not mention Austria, the North Korea of Mountainbiking? You are only allowed to cycle on public roads. So no fire roads, and even don't think about trails. You are not allowed to enter a forest with a bicycle at all, except the few official bikeparks. Just check Tyrol compared to the neighbouring countries on the Trailforks map, it is blank like a night satellite image of North Korea! If you get caught and sued, it costs up to a few thousand euros. You should make a whole episode about that craziness!

They'll charge you $200 for that now.

@@leroythecoffeegeek4611 Interesting. Since when? They always clean / decontaminate my boots and trail shoes without a fee. Is it only if they are filthy ?

Sorry what did you say?

Because it’s 2024 and people STILL don’t watch the shit they produce before posting

Been like that couple weeks now I've stopped watching them as much this month because of it! got loads to catch up on but music does my nut in

It isn’t

Voice is too low

I always use my bell in the UK because you always have hikers on the MTB trails. Stupid not to have one on your bike, might not be "cool" but essential.

Same when riding through Brixton, Catford, Lewisham...

The only dangerous animal on Table Mountain is the Baboon.

Jack the cameraman said this one is true! 👮‍♂

Here the city gave away land to a developer (corruption as usual) and they destroyed existing trails for no reasons (liability apparently) and are now selling luxury condos under the slogan "nature and culture" 💀

That makes sense🤔

he also mentioned alaska... which is not true. the only rule they have is that the tires must be wider than 4 inches.

Right on!

In Collserola Barcelona, a spot previously known for having some good trails, the limit is at 3 meters

And the new Waldgesetz is not making it better :(

I hope cannabis is legal there. That would help.

exactly, i refuse to attach some horrid cheap plastic reflectors to my very expensive enduro bike besides i don't ride at night anyway so they are useless, theres no use for them and they are not valuable enough to be sold and cannot go in the recyling bin so they go straight to landfill as plastic waste same as the bell

Yea! It was an interesting video to make, we were thinking we should try this for different race disciplines. What would you like to see next with this concept To anyone reading this comment here is the video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9tzqK2BktO1lWw.html

Heres a copy paste from Norwegian Public Roads Administration: Technical requirements applying to bicycles and e-bikes A number of technical requirements apply to equipment such as reflectors, lights and brakes on your bicycle. For e-bikes, there are also requirements applying to motor power and operation. A bicycle is defined as a vehicle in the traffic rules, and thus a number of requirements apply to the equipment on your bicycle. How a vehicle is defined will have an impact on where you can use it, and what consequences it will have if you break these rules. See also: Traffic rules for cyclists See also: Giving way when you cycle Requirements applying to bicycles and e-bikes There are requirements that apply to the equipment a bicycle must have, both regular push bikes and electric ones. If the requirements for brakes, reflectors and lights are not met, you may be fined. For electric bikes, there are also requirements applying to motor power and operation. Brake requirements The bicycle must have at least two separate brakes that work independently. One brake must act on the front wheel and the other on the rear wheel. This is because it must be possible to stop the bike in a safe, fast and efficient manner. Reflector requirements The vehicle must have a red reflector at the rear, also known as a “cat’s eye”. Both sides of the pedals, or the pedal arms in the case of clip-in pedals, must have white or yellow reflectors. The reflectors must be of an approved type, i.e. marked with CE or E. Light requirements The vehicle must have a headlamp with yellow or white light. It may also have a multifunctional lamp that can emit a flashing or solid white light at the front. You can use this when driving at dusk or dark. The lamp at the front of the bicycle should provide sufficient light without dazzling other road users. The lamps must be clearly visible at a distance of 300 m. Lamps that emit a flashing light must flash at least 120 times per minute. At the rear, the bicycle must have a tail lamp that emits a red light or flashing red light. The lamps shall be attached to the bicycle. Other requirements Your bicycle must have a bike bell. You may also find it useful to have mirrors on your bicycle when you cycle in traffic. Mirrors can help you avoid dangerous situations in interaction with the traffic behind you. Technical requirements applying to the motor and operation of an e-bike In order for an electric bike to be defined as a bicycle, it must meet certain requirements for how the motor should works and how powerful the motor can be. The motor must only provide power when you are using the pedals or hand-crank mechanism and it must switch off when you reach a speed of 25 km/h or when you stop pedalling. The motor alone can provide propulsion up to 6 km/h. This is called startup assistance. The auxiliary motor on the e-bike must not have a nominal power of more than 0.25 kW. There are three exceptions to this rule: A bicycle with two seats that has been provided or lent out as an aid by the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Organization (NAV) may have an electric auxiliary motor with a nominal power of up to 0.5 kW. A bike with three wheels and three or more seats can have a nominal power of 0.5 kW. This is not specified in the Regulations, but in a general decision made by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. A bicycle used by the Armed Forces, Civil Defence, fire service, police or emergency medical services can have a motor power of up to 1 kW. This is not specified in the Regulations, but in a general decision made by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. If the vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary motor with a nominal power of more than 0.25 kW and is propelled by motor power alone also above 6 km/h, or it is designed so that the auxiliary motor provides power even at speeds above 25 km/h, it is by law classified as a moped. For vehicles classified as a mopeds, separate rules apply with regard to safety and use, such as driving licence and helmet requirements. Violation of these rules may lead to licence confiscation, fines or imprisonment. Damage caused by an unregistered vehicle without insurance may also have major financial consequences for the driver. ------------------------- Traffic rules for cyclists When you ride a bicycle, you count as driving a vehicle. This means that you must know and comply with the traffic rules that apply where you are cycling. Since pedal bikes, electric bikes, electric scooters and other small electric vehicles are defined as vehicles, you must basically follow the same rules as other drivers when using these. Section 3 of the Road Traffic Act forms the basis for the traffic rules, and its purpose is to ensure that everyone should be as safe as possible on our roads, whether they walk, cycle or drive. This means that you have a personal responsibility to ensure that your behaviour in traffic does not create dangerous and difficult situations for other road users. Section 3 of the Road Traffic Act says that “Any person shall travel showing consideration, and being alert and cautious so that no damage or risk is caused, and so that other traffic is not unnecessarily obstructed or inconvenienced. Road users shall also show consideration for those who live or spend time along the road." This means that you must be considerate, watchful and careful when you travel by road. Passengers on bicycles You are allowed to carry passengers on a bike, but there are limitations in terms of age as well number: You can transport up to two children under the age of six, or one child under the age of 10, on a bicycle. If you also use a trailer, you can only transport one child under the age of 10 on the bike itself. In a bicycle trailer, you can transport up to two children under the age of six or one child over the age of six. If you only have one child in a bicycle trailer, there is no age limit. The weight of the children and any other items in a bicycle trailer must not exceed the trailer's maximum payload, as specified by the manufacturer. On small electric vehicles, such as electric scooters, passengers are not allowed. Nor is it allowed to have passengers in a trailer attached to the vehicle. Where can you cycle? You can basically cycle anywhere as long as you ride in the direction of traffic and follow the signs. It is forbidden to cycle on motorways and on roads where bicycles are banned by sign, such as on some bridges and in many tunnels. As a cyclist, you are less visible than cars and more exposed to accidents. Do not take risks! Cycling in the road You may ride your bicycle in the road together with cars. You must then follow the same traffic rules as other road users. This means, for example, that you must give way to traffic from the right must give way to pedestrians at pedestrian crossings must stop at red light must signal when you are turning must observe the speed limit Cycling in the public transport lane A public transport lane is a separate lane on the roadway. You may cycle in public transport lanes. If you ride a bicycle in the public transport lane, you must be careful to avoid the blind spot of the bus. Cycling on pedestrian and cycle paths These are facilities that are intended for both those who walk and those who cycle. Note that pedestrians may use both sides of the pedestrian and cycle path, while cyclists must ride on the right side. Cycling in cycle lanes Cycle lanes are separate lanes in the roadway marked with the cycle lane sign and road marking. You may only use the cycle lane on the right side of the road, i.e. it is not permitted to cycle in both directions in the same lane. If you are in a cycle lane with separate traffic lights for bicycles, you must follow these. Traffic lights do not apply to you if you cycle on the pavement or on a pedestrian or cycle path. It is not permitted to cycle in both directions in a cycle lane. Nor is it permitted to park or stop in a cycle lane. Cycling on the pavement and on pedestrian paths You may cycle on pedestrian paths and pavements if you do not obstruct or endanger pedestrians. If there are many people on the pavement, you must dismount and walk with your bicycle. If you are cycling past someone, make sure you adjust your speed and keep a safe distance. Cycling across pedestrian crossings You may cycle across a pedestrian crossing as long as you are considerate of those who are walking. When you cycle across the road at a pedestrian crossing, you are not considered a pedestrian, and other drivers are not required to give way to you. Cycling in one-way streets A one-way rule on streets and roads applies to all vehicle drivers, both cyclists and motorists. But in some streets the sign may have an additional panel showing that it is permitted to cycle in both directions. If you cycle in the opposite direction of cars in such streets, you need to be extra careful, because motorists often do not expect to meet oncoming bicycles. A one-way rule is usually signalled by the “No entry” sign at the end where entry is prohibited, and by the "One-way traffic” sign at the end where entry is permitted. If cyclists are excepted, this is shown with the “sykkel unntatt (“Cycles excepted”) sign. If you cycle on the pavement, the one-way rule does not apply. On-the-spot fines You may be issued an on-the-spot fine if you violate the traffic rules. If the violation is serious, you may be reported to the police. Fines and police reports are most often applied in connection with particularly dangerous behaviour.

I guess you could install reflective tape on the crank arms to comply with this. but I doubt the police will enforce this rule. I never see any reflector on the cranks. Nor pedals, unless it's kids bikes or a commuter bike.

put a sign up saying 'no wind here' while ur at it n maybe get the sea t stop washing it away too.. dunes are a constantly changing environment like most environments.. nothing is static. leave people do as they will, theres enough regulatory practises in the world already..

You poor thing

Which ones, which country? I only use official info from official sites. I haven't researched everything here. But I think they got things wrong. I looked at official Swedish Environmental Protection Agency site, and nothing about this.

​@@mtbboy1993With the Australia bell law its Under the NSW Road Rules so only for road. That's the same here in the UK for bells and reflectors as its a road rule, so trail riding won't come into it. Although you can be riding on the road to get to the trails or in-between trails. In Sweden, there is an unwritten law called the right of public access (its written down on a guide you can downloadand read). You are not allowed to drive a car, motorcycle, or moped, on the ground that isn't covered with snow and ice in Nature (not normal roads). Just wondering if not being allowed to ride trails covered with snow is wrong and it's more you can but the amount of snow would make it impossible. Just a thought on that one as I went walking there years ago and was told about that law and I am sure I saw people riding through snow in the forest.
