New Jersey Bike Skewer Law

[NJ Jess]

As one from NJ that was against the law, it was changed to NOT include adult bikes. It stems from some guy buying a kid's bike from BigBoxMart. The front tire came out and the kid was hurt. The law would have hurt a lot of LBS in NJ, so we fought it. More info on Mtbnj.com forum board under advocacy

farther down in the bill, it sez

"c. (1) It shall be an unlawful practice for any person to sell a bicycle which is equipped with a quick release wheel if:
(a) the front wheel diameter is greater than 20 inches; or
(b) it is a specialty adult bicycle with a front wheel diameter of 20 inches or less."

also, the footnote sez

"EXPLANATION – Matter enclosed in bold-faced brackets [thus] in the above bill is not enacted and is intended to be omitted in the law."

that makes it pretty all-inclusive
