  Legislation banning devices that can modify an electric bike’s speed — so that it no longer can be considered an e-bike — is before the governor.

  California law has speed guidelines for e-bikes, the bill notes. For example, a Class 1 bike has a motor that kicks in when a rider is pedaling and tops out at 20 mph; a

• Senior living: Older women are different from older men. Their health is woefully understudied

  Medical research has shortchanged women for decades. This is particularly true of older women, leaving physicians without critically important information about how to best manage their health.
