Interesting info. I'm not an attorney, but I would suggest that the general
mindset of mass-production bicycle manufacturers is that their products would
be used by children. Children just beginning to learn to ride a
bicycle are probably more likely to plant one foot on each side of the bicycle
when dismounting in an emergency. In providing this crotch-to-tube distance
advice, however marginal, the manufacturers may have been addressing
their legal imperative to warn the purchasing parents of a potential product
hazard.

Now may be a good time to fool with that musical instrument you've always
