Bicycle on Saturday
Can one person’s opinion be relied upon for riding a bicycle on Shabbat?
The sole opinion of the son of Rabbi Yosef Chaim of Baghdad in the Responsa Rav Pe’alim (1:25) permitted riding a bicycle on Shabbat, because according to him, new rulings should not be derived from our opinion, and therefore there is no need to fear that one will repair the bicycle or go outside the boundaries. Regarding the carriage, which is called in Yisrael Sakal (=bicycle), one rides it on Shabbat.

You answered well!
This is really the disease of the majority of the Mazurkhans
Constructionism as an ideal that leads to abandonment!
No matter how much you try to be different, you are a sworn [corrected] Lithuanian, blessed and good for you!
It seems that the living man is right
If even the prayer of the one who blessed the peace of the soldiers who are now protecting our lives is forbidden to us to correct today and dare to pray for them
How dare we invent a prohibition that is not forbidden, what power do the likes of us have?
If I remember correctly, at the beginning of Eruvin (page 3, as I believe), it is stated that it is forbidden to follow the voices of Beit Shammai and the voices of Beit Hillel only on the condition that the voices contradict each other, but to follow the voice systematically when they do not contradict is not a problem. Again, I am saying this from vague memory, but what is the Rabbi's opinion?
Indeed, that's why I didn't write evil, but that it is not appropriate to act in this way.
Thanks for the answer!
Does what many recent writers wrote, that they believe that this is not a matter of Ovadin Dahul, but that they have already become accustomed to prohibiting it, then it is prohibited, really exist in the Rabbi's opinion? And does the Rabbi believe that this should be suspected from the standpoint of Ovadin Dahul, and why? Thanks in advance.
I don't understand the argument. You claim that there is a custom to prohibit and therefore it is forbidden by the law of custom. There is some truth in this, since it was indeed not a custom. But custom is not really a law and it can be changed. Obedience is because of a riddle that I don't know what to say about. I have discussed this in several places in the past (for example, in a column on Beit Hacham).
Wait for the fact that the rabbi rules
I don't think there is a specific prohibition in this because it cannot be deduced from our own minds (as I think I have written about this before on bicycles). In fact, it is not advisable to act this way because of Ovadin Dahul (whose boundaries I do not understand) and because of custom.
