New Jersey Bike Skewer Law

[Eden]

Bike Fridays aren't intended for children though.

it's rather hard to read through the legal speak, but it does seem like the intention is to enact this only for small kids bikes, which for the most part already do not have QR's.

wouldn't a small bump on the end of the front fork be considered a secondary retention system. Its the litle bump at the end of the opening where the QR slides over. If QR were to pop open the idea of the bump is to keep the wheel from coming off the fork altogether.

Maybe I can post an example shot.

And they are going through with this without consulting bike manufacturers?

There has been a lot of angst about this law in the industry. It looks like NJ is just the begining. I haven't read a lot about it, but it seems they are going after more than just kids bikes.
I'll have to go back to my industry papers and re-read the articles.

"lawyer lips" I'd say they probably qualify
