📰 News we're reading

• As e-bikes surge in popularity, DougCo officials are considering making some illegal in the name of safety (denver7.com) — Castle Pines has already passed its own safety ordinance for off‑highway and low‑speed electric vehicles, and Douglas County is now weighing broader rules that could outlaw faster e‑bikes and impose steep fines for reckless riding. Local officials and residents describe concerns about kids on high‑speed electric dirt bikes, helmet requirements, and how new penalties would shift to parents when minors break the rules.
