I&#039;d get a bike with 16&quot; wheels, which is rather small for me at 5&#039;9&quot; tall, and than lengthen the seat and handle bar posts so I could still sit upright. But being that the licenses are free I wouldn&#039;t mind getting one cause they&#039;re not trying to find another way to get more money from me.
At least these licenses are free unlike other places. Because the licenses are free they can truly say they&#039;re not trying to make money with the program. Some states are looking at licensing bikes as a way to make money for the city. But the money should go toward bike related things. Like more bike lanes, developing more trails for riders that commute and want to avoid traffic, bicycle awareness programs to educate bikers and motorists etc etc. It should be a crime to send the money to the &quot;General Fund&quot; or use it for anything other than biking.
I&#039;m looking at adding a gas motor to my bike so I can use it as an alternative to my car. A bike with a motor gets even better mileage than a scooter!! The bike weighs less and is more areodynamic than a scooter so it&#039;s more efficient on gas.
Of course I&#039;ll look at electric too. But the advantage of gas is that if I run low on gas when out and about I can stop at any gas station. Whereas with an electric motor if I run out of juice and are quite some distance from home it will be a long ride back!!
Than there&#039;s also the pedal assist hub wheel which helps with hills and such. But those have distance limits like the electric motors.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;(a)   It shall be unlawful and an offense for any person to operate or use a bicycle with a wheel diameter of 20 inches or more&#8221;</p><p>I&#8217;d get a bike with 16&#8243; wheels, which is rather small for me at 5&#8217;9&#8243; tall, and than lengthen the seat and handle bar posts so I could still sit upright.
