You Need Brakes Now On Your Bike…

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20091118_Council_eyes_new_bike-ride_regs.html

Hey John I’m hoping you could post this on your blog so the word can be spread,

I’m a follower of your blog and have seen that you’ve ridden in Philly before and just wanted to inform you of two bills that have just been proposed by the Philadelphia City Council. The first will increase fines drastically for such things as riding on the sidewalk and riding with headphones. This bill will also impose a $1000 fine and the possible confiscation of the bicycle if riding “brakeless”, the council member specifically mentions fixed gear bicycles in the interviews he has done regarding the bill. While I am all for safe and smart cycling laws, under this bill the fine for riding with headphones would be three times the amount of the fine for running a stop light with an automobile, which one seems more dangerous?

The second bill (and scariest to me) is one that would require bicycles in Philadelphia to be registered at a cost of $20.00 and have plates displayed in an easy to view place; the fine for riding an unregistered bike would be $100. The council member who proposed this bill stated the plates would be a way to identify unruly cyclist, but where does it end, do we start displaying plates while we walk so laws regarding pedestrians can be enforced? Also in his proposal he mentions nothing about the proceeds of registering going to help enhance the bicycle infrastructure or the cycling community in anyway.

Again I am not against following the rules of the road but these bills will only hinder the growth of the cycling community in Philadelphia.

Here are the links to the bills and the names of the council members who introduced these bills today, if any of you ride bikes in Philly (or have ridden) I urge you to call or email and voice your opposition to these proposed bills before they become laws.

you already know we’re buggin out.

i’m bringing my bike!

 this is a given, can’t wait man!!!

ATTN CYCLISTS:

I need an opinion/help. I am currently building a fixed gear trick setup on one of my bikes and I need an opinion on what steel frame recommendations/options are available to me at a moderate price. I have the rest of the bike I just need a new frame/fork.

PS: I’ve heard horrible things about the volume cutter frame as that was my original plan

Any Suggestions?
