Stop NY's Anti-Bicycling Bill (Adding A Metal License To Your Bike)
Actually, proof of registration would more likely be in
the form of a sticker with which to embellish your cleanly gorgeous titanium frame's downtube. =v= If they're "tags" they'll probably be made of metal. Added weight to your bike?!? (I doubt they'll be made of titanium.) =v= In Boston in 1998 there was some tabloid-fueled hysteria after a bike messenger collided with a well-heeled, influential pedestrian. They put a draconian licensing law into effect for messengers, and the tags were big and made of sharp metal. If you put them under your seat, you'd cut your legs. Bogus. =v= What's more, the Boston police used this law to stop random bikers on the pretense that they might be messengers. _Jym_ |

Added weight to your bike?!? (I doubt they'll be made of titanium.) I recall reading somewhere that there is a new process for titanium, and it could be as inexpensive as aluminum some day. =v= In Boston in 1998 there was some tabloid-fueled hysteria after a bike messenger collided with a well-heeled, influential pedestrian.

Here in Floriduh cars only need one license plate in the back. Personally, I think they should have five - on all four sides and on the top. =v= What's more, the Boston police used this law to stop random bikers on the pretense that they might be messengers. _Jym_ What we need is federal legislation making it illegal for a state to prosecute or fail to prosecute for any reason other than the severity of the crime and the probability of getting a conviction. I am not a lawyer. I do not even see email sent to this address, due to past DOS attacks. If you wish to respond, do so through this newsgroup. |
