Lot's of rules to run the salt. One rule was no functional pedal crank. Actually it's not an official rule but it was made mandatory for our bikes. I still wanted everyone to know these were motorized bicycles so I left the pedals and sprockets on the bikes, turned both crank arms to the rear to act as rear sets, removed the chain and locked the whole system out.
