almost completely unregulated

Not if the car brains get their way

    Ebike regulations are in consideration or in place in some jurisdictions, but I haven't heard anything about regulating analog bikes.

    Yeah, my state's passed restrictions, but they only apply to e-bikes.

    Odd situation where e-bikes have a defined speed limit, but remove the motor and it no longer applies, outside of whatever the cop who stops you is feeling that day.

    My city has police on bicycles. And I guess that if I performed some "interesting" maneuver on the road in their sight - I'd absolutely be apprehended by them and fined.

    I've only ever seen them apprehending a biker who decided to use bicycle lane tho.

    But yeah, not "unregulated", yet with most of regulations being there for my own safety such as helmet and reflective thingies in wheels.
