The Tour of California will not return to San Diego County in 2010, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. The bicycling race, which, earlier this year, attracted nearly 300,000 spectators, 16 pro teams, and 150 racers–including Lance Armstrong–will bypass the city of Escondido and San Diego County next year.

A post today on Streetsblog New York raises the question of whether electric bicycles should be allowed in New York City. They are currently prohibited from using roadways under New York state law, which has apparently led to people riding (driving?) them on sidewalks.
