Now that should be national law. Maybe more children would survive then. Green are state laws requiring helmets Red Local laws White No Laws In 2006, 773 bicyclists were killed and an additional 44,000 were injured in traffic crashes. Children 14 and younger accounted for 98 of those fatalities (13%), making this one of the most frequent causes of injury related death for young children. Every dollar spent on bicycle helmets saves society $30 in indirect medical costs and other costs.

I've broken this law

No person operating a bicycle shall carry any package, bundle or article which prevents the operator from keeping at least one hand upon the handle bars.

A motorist passing a bicyclist in the same lane is require to give the bicyclist at least 3 feet of clearance, and to maintain that clearance until safely past. [346.075] A bicyclist passing a stopped or moving vehicle is also required to give at least 3 feet of clearance when passing. [346.80(2)]

RULES: Same as always, no whining, no more than one post every 10 minutes etc. Basically, just have fun and share your knowledge of the laws in your area. Posts must contain at least one law to count! I have final say and I say HAVE FUN!!!!

The bicycle is defined as a vehicle. [340.01(5)] The operator of a vehicle is granted the same rights and subject to the same duties as a driver of any other vehicle [346.02(4)(a)]

Well this one just happened less than a month ago. I was caching on my geobike in Neenah WI. It was towards the end of the day when I was about to cross the road on a cross-walk when out of nowhere appeared a motorcyclist turning right. He missed me by less than two feet and scared the crap out of me. Now part of this incident was my fault as I didn't stop like I problaly should have. So what have I learned. Look left and right and stop at cross walks.

Looks like you really enjoy racing. Have you entered Rockin Roddy's contest for promoting bike awareness outside the forums. Kids would listen to a racer like you. We need to build up his courage a bit!! I agree that kids would listen to you, my friend! you have the knowledge and you're a great example of what can be done when one puts their mind to it!! If only I could think straight. This plan is on hold until I get over four wisdom teeth peing pulled

Here's a picture of me actually competing in a duathlon. This was my first road bike and luckly never had a crash on it. A few close calls though with cars happened.

That's just a sample of what I have.

This is a picture of my racing bike. I have only had one crash with it but luckly I had a helmet on and nothing bad happened.

Seeing I am most likely not be able to buy any I'd be willing to distribute them in the Midwest. I'll even distribute them on my bike.

Wish I had the money to buy a few

Last day to get one.
