OK, anyone not hearing anything? All right, well, I definitely let us know what you find out there, Jerry. And you know, e-bikes are definitely something that's getting very, very popular going forward here. I know that when I was out driving last weekend, I think I was up in Lincoln, and there was a kid probably, maybe 13 years old. He was on the e-bike. He was definitely going more than 20 miles an hour. And he was in and out of traffic and stuff. And he was not regarding any of the laws, going through stop signs and going through intersections and all that stuff. And yeah, it was not a good situation. So they definitely need to have some rules about that. Before I moved here, Tom, there's a comment. We lived in Washington, DC, in Alexandria. And we weren't too far from the bike paths that went along the Potomac. So I would take my older daughter, and she and I would take our bicycles and ride up these paths. These paths are about the width of a road, half a road. And people push their baby shoulders on them, just go walking on them and meandering and riding their bicycles and tricycles. And then these guys would come along on their speedy bikes, and you'd say, on your left. They'd be gone by you before you even had the chance to react. I was surprised there weren't more accidents that happened on there. So yeah, it's just an interesting mix, isn't it? Back to you, Tom. Yeah, been on a number of hiking trails or more bikes. I like that. And yeah, it's definitely a strange mix. So who was the other comment? Tom Graydon, QG6SLH. Can open the door to the helmet laws. We see a lot of e-bikes up on the tower because we spend a fair amount of time up there. You see a lot of young people riding e-bikes around, and they're definitely going more than 20 miles an hour. They like to go up to the top of the hill and then come down the hill as fast as they can, which we used to do on bikes as well. But we had an old issue with the helmet law, too. And you see a lot of people riding e-bikes without helmets. So do the helmet laws apply to people under a certain age on bicycles, probably whether they're e-bikes or not? But what about the helmet laws for people, let's call them adults, that are out there on e-bikes? I just was going to throw out there and I don't know the answer. QG6SLH. Kilo, Kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. All-Star Note 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Yeah, that's a good question. It sounds like, according to maybe Craig, that they might be requiring helmets on, no matter what your age is. Anyway, Jerry, so your task is to find out, your homework is to find out all this and sort it all out, especially as being a lawyer like that, you should be able to come back with a, I guess, a summary of what you found. W-86E and N-6H. OK, Tom, I'll start my research now. The first step is, of course, to know there are rules and then to go look for them. So as Ray said a little bit ago, people do more than 20 miles an hour on their existing bikes. The only time I ever get up that fast on my bike is when I'm going downhill for a short burst and then otherwise it's typically 10 or 12 miles an hour. So I've ended up, interesting things, as the world changes. Thanks for letting me spout off here, Tom, W-86E.
