Yes, this is real
I do not care what the sign says the card is staying on my spokes.
You filthy terrorist!
So this is not about the bike making noise this is about bikers shouting back and forth to each other. On Cape cod in the USA there’s a bike trail that’s very popular with the tourists but they don’t understand that it basically goes through people’s backyards and I’ll just shout back and forth no matter what time of day it is
You’d better have a muffler on that bicycle.
Car tires are the loudest aspect of any vehicle!!
When I lived in Japan, apparently, somebody revved their motorcycle engine too much at night, and it was covered on the local TV news the next day. I guess they didn’t have any other sorts of local crime to present.
Only thing I can think of is the ridiculously loud free hubs that are way too popular on high end bikes now. Still way quieter than their beloved Aussie v8s, barras, etc
Your ute with “sports” mufflers is totally fine though.
Every rule has a back story. You can easily imagine a bunch of kids yelling at each other as they bike down the street. But you cannot make a sign that says “punk kids not allowed”.
I’ll turn off my ICU when cycling through this area. And brake a bit slower as well.
