I've been riding my bike around town for about two months now and as far as I can tell I'm the only one around with one. That will probably change soon enough because at least once a day somebody stops me and asks me all about it and I gladly tell them where to get one and what the first cop that stopped me said, which was that was as long as it's under 49cc (it's not) and couldn't go more than 35 mph (don't know no speedometer) it was a moped and didn't need to be licensed but the driver needed a plain old regular drivers license (don't have but bs'd my way out of that), he then asked me all about it and I thought he was going to ask me if he could take it for a spin but he didn't and we went our separate ways. Last week however there was a cop posted down at a four way stop waiting to catch people running the sign when I come zippin by. I stopped at the sign and made it look like it was a chore for me to get goin again with the pedals but he stopped me anyway and told me that I had to put lights and mirrors on it for it to be legal. Threatened to write me a handful of tickets blah blah blah, I stopped listening after he said I needed lights. I told him that I had lights on it but they kept vibrating off he said that was my problem handful of tickets, blah blah blah. So long story long in South Dakota you can pretty much do whatever as long as people can see you doin it. Most cops around now know who I am and just wave.
