Bicycle and micromobility ordinance (Ordinance No. 1776)

A lifelong cyclist (75,000 miles in Oviedo) argued the 10 mph sidewalk speed limit is too slow — he averages 13 mph — and asked council to raise it to 15 mph so downhill riders aren't ticketed. Noted heavy e-bikes pose hazards but supported addressing the issue.

An experienced e-bike and e-skateboard rider who follows the proposed passing rules called most of the ordinance reasonable, but said a blanket 10 mph sidewalk limit is too strict on long empty sidewalks — while agreeing dangerous riding near pedestrians must be addressed.

Argued no scenario should exist where an eleven-year-old on an e-bike could be arrested, fingerprinted, and have the bike impounded on a first encounter with law enforcement.
