COINTEST: Todies Wild Ride!

[+usyoopers]

Reporting in on our coins....top 5

 

TB24J22- 7094 miles...this one is currently vacationing with the geopigs (wish I was with it!)

TB28GTN- 4533 miles

TB1HCH3- 3213 miles

TB1YQQJ- 2208 miles

TB1PB9P- 1005 miles

 

Out of the 70 coins we released 2 are missing, hopefully to resurface!

[+burgessfour]

I know I had a cutoff date for entries into the race and that we are now adding coins after the date...I was wondering how everyone felt about this? I don't want to upset anyone with the change in rules.

 

My plan is to get the last few coins I have into the game, then we'll see how it goes. I don't think we'll be releasing too many more considering I only have a few left. Will the addition of more coins later on be OK with everyone or should I stop all entries after this last cointest?? It's your call everyone.

 

Please email me your response so it's a confidential vote, I will abide by the vote! PLEASE...only vote if you are participating in the race.

 

Again, I don't want anyone to be upset with the way this is being held, I merely wish to get as many coins out raising bike awareness as possible!

 

One last thing...post the mileage of your coin which has traveled the furthest please, so I can get an idea of how the travels are going! Also, please post if any of your coins have gone missing already!!

 

OH...and more laws for bikes please!!! Keep them coming!

Here is my biggest mover TB1A9Z3

Woo Hoo, I just now figured out how to make the linkys work!!!

[+burgessfour]

Okay, cointest time!

From the Oregon Department of Transportation:

In Oregon The most important rule to remember is ride on the right, in the

same direction as the traffic next to you. It’s the law.

[+RifleMan81]

Ohio bike law (same as for motor vehicles)

 

§ 4511.36. Rules for turns at intersections.

The driver of a vehicle intending to turn at an intersection shall be governed by the following rules:

 

(A) Approach for a right turn and a right turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway.

 

( <---my letter B turned into a smiley At any intersection where traffic is permitted to move in both directions on each roadway entering the intersection, an approach for a left turn shall be made in that portion of the right half of the roadway nearest the center line thereof and by passing to the right of such center line where it enters the intersection and after entering the intersection the left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection to the right of the center line of the roadway being entered. Whenever practicable the left turn shall be made in that portion of the intersection to the left of the center of the intersection.

 

Thanks for the contest.

Here's a good one, again from Ohio.

 

§ 4511.54. Prohibition against attaching bicycles and sleds to vehicles.

No person riding upon any bicycle, coaster, roller skates, sled, or toy vehicle shall attach the same or self to any streetcar, trackless trolley, or vehicle upon a roadway.

 

Reminds me of the move Back to the Future when he hitches a ride while on his skateboard.

[+burgessfour]

I thought this was interesting........

 

814.487 Exemptions from protective headgear requirements. A person is exempt from the requirements under ORS

814.485 and 814.486 to wear protective headgear, if wearing the headgear would violate a religious belief or practice of the

person.

[+Team Black-Cat]

A motorist passing a bicyclist in the same lane is required 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)©]

[+Team Black-Cat]

And the winner is...

Hey! Way to go zoebro!

[+RifleMan81]

4511.53 Rules for Bicycles - A person operating a bicycle shall ride either standing upon the pedals or

seated upon the permanent and regular seat and shall carry no more persons than the number for which it

is designed and equipped. No person operating a bicycle shall carry any item which would prevent them

from having at least one hand on the handle bars.

 

 

This guy must not have read all aplicable traffic laws.

 

[+burgessfour]

Oregon again

 

SECTION 2. { + (1) A person commits the offense of unsafe

operation of a bicycle on a crosswalk if the person operates the

bicycle at a speed greater than an ordinary walk when approaching

or entering a crosswalk and a motor vehicle is approaching.

[+fairyhoney]

Riding at Night - For night bicycle riding, a white front light (not a reflector) visible for 500 feet and a red rear reflector are required. A red rear light may be used in addition to the required reflector (RCW 46.61.780).

[+fairyhoney]

Shoulder vs. Bike Lane - Cyclists may choose to ride on the path, bike lane, shoulder or travel lane as suits their safety needs (RCW 46.61.770).

OK everyone, just off the phone with Rothstafari, we can open a topic in the GENERAL FORUMS which I will do in a little while. The topic will be named GEOBIKING: ALL THINGS CACHING AND BIKING!

 

This is a big leap for us, we can now open the thread and it should be OK as long as we focus on biking and caching! When the thread is opened, please feel free to drop in and post as often as you'd like, we are hoping the post is well received and might be able to expand it into our own sub-forums in time! This is more or less a testing of the interest, so the more we can get to visit, the better!

 

Keep a watch for the thread to open, I want to think about what the opening post should say!

More from Wisconsin. Kind of goes with ZB's above...

 

·State Statutes allow local units of government to permit vehicles on sidewalks through local ordinances. 346.94(1)]

 

·When bicycles are allowed to be operated on sidewalks, bicyclists must yield to pedestrians and give an audible warning when passing pedestrians traveling in the same direction. [346.804]

·At intersections and other sidewalk crossings (alleys, driveways), a bicyclist on the sidewalk has the same rights and duties as pedestrians. [346.23, 24, 25, 37, 38]

Maine law: Hitching rides. A person riding on a bicycle or scooter may not attach it to a moving vehicle.

[Maine Family]

Maine law: Speed. A motorized bicycle or motorized scooter may not be operated in excess of 20 miles per hour.

[Maine Family]

Maine law: Bicyclists are occasionally refused service at drive-up windows. Many drive-up windows have longer open hours than lobbies, while some businesses only have a drive-up window. The new law extends a liability waiver to all businesses with drive-up windows to allow bicyclists equal access to businesses including banks, restaurants, pharmacies, ATMs, etc. (14 MRSA §159-D)

[Maine Family]

Maine law: Because bicyclists typically are driving on the right portion of the way and/or on the shoulder, passing on the right is sometimes safer than pulling out into traffic to pass on the left when traffic is backed up. The new law clarifies that a bicyclist may pass on the right, at their own risk.

 

29-A MRSA §2070, sub-§6 Passing on the right... A person operating a bicycle may pass a vehicle on the right at the bicyclist's own risk.

Maine law:

29-A MRSA §2070, sub-§1-A Passing bicycle. An operator of a motor vehicle that is passing a bicycle proceeding in the same direction shall exercise due care by leaving a distance between the motor vehicle and the bicycle of not less than 3 feet while the motor vehicle is passing the bicycle.

(1) A person commits the offense of unlawful passengers on a bicycle if the person operates a bicycle and carries more persons on the bicycle than the number for which it is designed or safely equipped.

[Maine Family]

Maine law: Seating. A person operating a bicycle may not ride other than upon or astride a regular and permanently attached seat. 3-A. Number of persons. A bicycle may not be used to carry more persons than the number for which it is designed and equipped. [ 2003, c. 452, Pt. Q, §43 (NEW); 2003, c. 452, Pt. X, §2 (AFF) .]

Bubba, you turn the lights down, you start the powerpoint and you read some statistics (in the dark while everyone else predisposed to checking out the graphics). Make the powerpoint almost as long as you want the presentation to be, leaving just enough room for a Q&A or maybe a short sumary, then close it up and you're all good!! Your biggest issue is getting enough good graphics to keep their interest! Give a camera to a friend and ask that pics be taken so you can post them here!!
