Re: how about a speeding ticket on your next ride

I’ve seen bikers get tickets on regular roads, but never on trails. In fact, I was on a group sanctioned road ride and everyone who did not stop at a certain stop sign in a certain town got a ticket. That’s why I actually stop at stop signs and don’t run red lights in town.

There was actually an article here not too long ago about a guy on a bike that got a speeding ticket while going 27mph! I can certainly see the argument that bikes should be held to the same rules as cars while on the road, but a ticket for 2mph over means that every biker would need to have a properly calculated computer that he actually pays attention to while riding through busy streets! That’s absurd! And, lets not forget the fact that some of these people that commute on bike do it out of necessity, not choice. So, now you’re saying that people who may not have the money to ride the bus/metro or drive have to go out and get a computer for their bicycle.
