D'OH, I dropped my wallet. Oh, look, it landed right next to my bike shoe. Well, there go my credit cards..... So now we have to hire Rube Goldberg, at our expense, to allow us to be treated as equals with other vehicles, as state law defines us? Apparently we're still missing the point, that on the one hand, the state defines a bicycle as a vehicle, and on the other hand, it allows the use of controls that don't work with bicycles as vehicles. Here's an analogy: with a few exceptions/restrictions (felons, ten-day residency, etc.), every adult citizen has the right to vote. So, if we put all the polling places in buildings with no wheelchair access, and just "declared" that every citizen has an equal right to use it, do you think the sh!t would not hit the fan? I still wanna know, given that these devices contradict the definition of bicycles as vehicles, why they're not FORBIDDEN. Okay, it's meant to be funny, and it is. But what's most "funny" is that we have to semi-seriously think about making spider-man shoes in order to get to work each day. _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
