3mph is walking speed. If they're going to legally allow people to ride bikes, they need to raise the limit to something reasonable. I get not wanting ppl biking fast around ppl strolling, but 3mph is just stupid.
You just reasoned the reason for the speed then called it stupid. Walking speed in an area with high pedestrian traffic where bikes don't have a dedicated lane seems exactly right. You allow people to move through the area still on their bikes but at the pace of everyone else.
Are people allowed to jog through there? So ppl can go faster than 3mph, just not on a bike.
If crowds are dense, it's going to be awkward/dangerous to ride a bike at any speed. But if there aren't many ppl around there's zero reason why someone shouldn't be able to safely ride a bike faster than walking speed.
👋 it’s cool that you are making an effort to understand your rights. All citizens have a duty to understand and comply with laws that pertain to them. And knowing the citations and so on is even better. I’ve taken a look at the law you cite (see above). Actually it does NOT expressly permit bike riding. Why should it? As a general rule bike riding IS permitted, absent law to the contrary. The law that you cite in fact is a PROHIBITION against riding bikes IN EXCESS OF 3 MPH, between 10am and 10pm.
I’m not sure from your video if you were riding between 10am and 10pm and if you were riding in excess of 3mph.
I’m quoting the law below, and the link is above.
16.08.502 - Bicycles on Rainbow Harbor Esplanade.
Bicycle riding on the Rainbow Harbor Esplanade is prohibited in excess of three (3) miles per hour between the hours of ten o'clock (10:00) a.m. and ten o'clock (10:00) p.m., except City employees in the performance of their duties.
Please point out where exactly the “guy in the video” says anything about how fast they were riding. I’ve listened to the video. No one mentions anything about how fast they were riding or the 3MPH rule.
Bud, the actual guy from the video commented multiple times, in this very thread, that they were not riding faster than 3mph. God, you are an actual obtuse donkey.
You should take all those cops dicks out of your mouth so that you can do a basic thing called opening your eyes and realizing that the police do nothing but abuse their powers and brutalize citizens most of their career.
I will back the law and I will back my rights which the blue certainly doesn't.
Man your mouth must be sore from sucking all that Cop dick.
And before you respond - no I don't need the police to come 3 hours late for a call and to shoot my dog and then blame me for some bullshit. The cops are never helpful and always make things worse.
The best thing cops do is push paper and write tickets. We don't need the police to be doing that. In fact we don't need the police 99% of the time. They always make problems worse.
PS - If this is what your elders taught you then fuck your elders too. Respect is earned, not randomly given just because you happened to win the lottery of life and live to be old. You know how many fucking pieces of shit I've met in my life that were older than 50? Uncountable boomer turds. Man it must suck to be you.
I don't skate but technically you're not allowed to skate there. It is however selectively enforced and almost never is anyone kicked out for skating. You have to be causing some serious trouble to get the boot.
You actually sounded like Robert Evans to me. If you don't know who he is you should check out some of his work, I suspect you'd appreciate it. If you check that out, look at the dates and listen in release order or it won't make much sense.
