I wouldn't think so, but that would be irrelivant anyway, as "riding" is being Transported at the Transporter's Inclination, not Traveling at one's own Inclination. We have the Right to Travel from one place to another at our own Inclination, But, we don't have a Right to be Transported, as that involves the Inclination of the Transporter. If we did, we could demand we be Transported, but we can't. We can only request to be Transported, and we can be denied at the Inclination of the Transporter. So, how can we have a Right to something we don't have a Right to?
It says, "and the right, ordinarily, of free transit", which is to say we have the Right of Transit Ordinarily used, and this is for Personal Travel on our Public Highways. Today, that is Driving the Automobile.
The Second Amendment doesn't say we have the Right to Keep and Bear Repeating Rifles, but instead it says we have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. At the time of it's writing, Repeating Rifles didn't exist. Yet, today, it is understood to Include Repeating Rifles as they are Arms.
But, we have more than just the Right of Travel, we have the Right of Transit Ordinarily used for Personal Travel on our Public Highways. And, on our Public Highways today, Driving Automobiles IS the Transit Ordinarily used.
Definately you should understand we have a Right to Travel on our Public Highways. Nobody, hardly, would deny that. But, on many Highways, Walking, Horses and Biking can, and often are, prohibited because they obstruct the Transit Ordinarily used, that being the Automobile. We do not have a Right of Transit which would obstruct with the Transit Ordinarily used. Again, I have to ask, how can we have a Right to something we don't have a Right to?
I am not debating our Right to Travel, but instead our Right of Transit Ordinarily used.
