"Steven Goodridge" wrote This is why I think that regulation of adult bicycles should be removed from the CPSC and given to the same USDOT organizations that regulate cars and motorcycles. That way we might get meaningful safety regulations (like better standards for lights and reflectors than the CPSC's toy reflectors) and less incompetent meddling with issues that the CPSC is demonstrably unqualified to regulate. I think we should get both of them out of the business. Let the current laws (lights required at night, etc) do their job. The USDOT concept falls apart because a significant % of bikes are not used for 'transportation'. And a bike can change roles from recreation to transportation rapidly. Pete |

devices. There's no 'use' guideline for any other road-going vehicle. Bicycles should have to meet uniform standards set by the federal DOT, just like any other vehicle. We should have dependable lighting and rreflectors, not toys. -- alan Anyone who believes in a liberal media has never read the "Daily Oklahoman." "Pete" wrote in message ...
