ARE ELECTRIC BIKES ALLOWED ON THE CARRIAGE ROADS?

Yes and no.  If you are disabled you are allowed to ride an electric bike along the carriage roads, if you are not disabled, you are not allowed to ride them along the carriage roads.  The park in recent years has found this rule to be a thorn in their sides because a business in town along West Street now rents electric bikes and tourists, unaware of the rules, take to the carriage roads on them.  Despite the Park Service trying to edcate the public, the use of electric bikes on the carriage roads has continued to rise and the park seems unable to monitor the situation or check for proper paper work to see if in fact all the riders of electric bikes on the carriage roads are in fact disabled, which clearly 99.9% of them are not.
