You'd think that most of those rights would already accepted and respected. Would be nice to see more support for transportation that doesn't in turn pollute our cities.

Tickets are a pain in the ass. I got out of my first and only traffic ticket, for making a left turn as a cyclist, which got thrown out after my letter outlining why that ticket was retarded and not in accordance with the law.

What I'm wondering is, did anyone actually get in real trouble? Or was it more of a nuisance? I think at this point everyone can agree it was a blunder….

The license program is worse than that - it was originally (ill) conceived as a way to recover stolen bikes when the police recovered a lot of stolen items. Now it's being used to harass cyclists. Worse, it's illegal - the state permits city's to force RESIDENTS to register their bicycles - LA overstepped and forces everyone riding a bike to register. Serious blunder. Thanks for posting this.
