Asked by ELI M IZ · May 8, 2003 · Shabbat

Question

HI AARON YOU REPLIED THAT RIDING A BIKE INSIDE AN ERUV ...LOOKS LIKE YOUR TRAVELING... IS THAT ONE OF THE MARIT HAAYEEN CASES? ALSO , WOULD THAT APPLY TODAY WHERE THE NORMAL RIDING A BIKE IS FOR PLEASURE AND NOT TRAVEL CITY TO CITY?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

Yes Same rule applies. Often people travel 5-10 miles on a bike. That's more than was done in the old days, what the Gemara was talking about.... AA
