Anyone who doesn't have at least a few reflectors on their bike deserves to be run over. And on a side note, I know a guy who got a DUI while on a bike
Who the fuck has a headlight on their bike these days? Cops are just making bullshit excuses to fine people.
lol, didn't realize you were from Minnesota. I'm from Anoka myself, always good to see more local opeth fans. And yeah... Minneapolis cops are dicks
In Oregon the police heavily enforce the, "Light on back n' front of the bicycle" law. It's stupid not to have one anyways. There's crazy drivers stalking the streets at night, and you best be sure they see ya.
Any law that's only purpose is to protect the person who's breaking it is fucking stupid. IE: Seatbelt laws. If you're an adult, you don't need big brother government to watch out for you and make sure you're being safe...
Actually, I'm a cyclist and in California you can get a ticket for riding at night without proper lights. I do the majority of my riding at night and it's just loads safer. I don't know about the air freshener BS though. I've never heard anything about that. Hell, they sell air fresheners at every gas station here. And why in the hell would the cop demand $50 bucks? If you got a warrant, you're going to jail, no if ands or buts.
Actually, I take back what I said. Want to live in a REALLY free country, go check out that tribe in Brazil that they just found. They probably wouldn't care about bicycle laws, but you may give them smallpox. Also, you can trade textiles for their spices and gold. You could be a 21st century conquistador! All I'm saying is, fuck Target.
wow man, that's fucking hilarious, last night, a buddy and I decided to take a random bike ride at like 12:00 in the morning, and we also got pulled over for not having headlights on our bikes. We got away with warnings, but that's just so weird that you got pulled over also
