KC, I've been thinking of making a satire video along those lines, maybe with bicyclists riding on sidewalks and harassing or (poor acting effects here for comedy) colliding with pedestrians, after lots of "get off the road" comments and a fictional road cycling ban (though there have been some real citywide bans in USA, and a TX senator did try to ban bicycles from farm-to-market roads, effectively most of TX. )

Police seek help with information on stolen motorized bicycles
Livonia police are asking for the public's help with any information on the theft of seven motorized bicycles and one moped in a string of break-ins at a local bike shop.
The bikes are unique in that they feature a battery pack over the rear wheel and sport a retro look with fenders and white wall tires.
The bikes were stolen in five separate break-ins between March 23 and April 1 at a new business on the south side of Plymouth Road between Middlebelt and Merriman.

Re: MB in the News
Aw man, why do I always find the bad ones.
This is sad: 52yr old killed in WA
This is just heart wrenching: 1 toddler dead, 2 srsly injured in OH, an 11yr old was driving with his siblings on the bike(one in a child seat I'm assuming). They were bombing out of an alley onto a cross street and got sideswiped by a truck.
Why on earth would anyone let their 11yr old drive, in the city, and with two younger kids no less...
!!UPDATE: Found another article, turns out the kids were on a Baja 97cc Mini-motor bike: link with vid- http://www.10tv.com/content/stories...eadly-crash-should-not-have-been-on-road.html

Re: MB in the News
At least they ticketed the driver. Most of the time cagers are immune to prosecution if they kill a bicyclist. They just say the magic words "I didn't see him" and get their keys back, their papers back, and a get out of jail free card, most of the time.

Be seen! http://www.fenixtactical.com/images/fenix/mid-res/fenix-hp20-003.jpg
I have the HP 11, mounted with double sided tapes, to my helmet. It has 4 flash modes and 4 brightness levels including "OMG MY EYES ARE MELTING INTO MY FRENCH FRIES".
Home Depot has the HP 11 for $65. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs...ping-_-googleads-_-pla-_-202964100&ci_gpa=pla

I found this odd. Here, you can get a DUI on a BigWheel, bike and a horse.
(Which always cracked me up. Was the horse staggering and slurring his words?)

Re: MB in the News
Lol Dan, we can get nailed on a riding lawnmower on your own property if you're riding around with a beer. Or even a paddle boat on the river... Dang Canuckistan!
I found good news for a change. A papers article about a small shop in NH that builds and rents motorized bicycles to tourists:

Re: MB in the News
Seriously, can you mow grass with out a beer? Wondered why I had to fab a can holder.
Man it would be cool to make a living doing that. Renting em out would be the ultimate sales pitch.
