I got pulled over here in Tucson for going 22 or 23mph I dont remember. We have a speed limit of 20mph. But check this out: I had no chain!! My chain tensioner had broke off so I removed the link so I could pedal home. The cop said it doesnt matter if I am pedaling or under engine power, my bike is a motorized bike so even if I pedal I have to stay under 20mph.
He did not give me a ticket, just told me to stay under 20mph. Now is that stupid or what? The way I see it, if I'm pedaling its a bicycle, if I'm using my motor, its a motorized bike. I guess they dont see it that way.
