whats a mono? is that riding with no hands?

**madboy** · 30th November 2005, 19:59

talk to loosebruce... pushbike mono legend, and he might know a thing or two about runners on pushbikes, but that might just be urban myth.

**ZorsT** · 30th November 2005, 20:05

IANAL but IIRC, a law was passed recently that allowed riders of pushbike to be charged with speeding and other traffic offences...

**TraD_MaN** · 30th November 2005, 20:05

ok and the cop pulled u over for that?

**Sketchy_Racer** · 30th November 2005, 20:11

yes he did and was threatening me with "dangerous Riding" lmao!!! cock sucker cop!!!

**nadroj** · 30th November 2005, 20:20

Should have told him it was a unicycle with an accessory wheel. A unicycle is considered a wheelbarrow in local body vehicle descriptions!

**Sketchy_Racer** · 30th November 2005, 20:23

That. Is. Pathetic.

If I were a cop, I'd fucking clap, whoop whoop the lights and sound and write you a medal ++ a pat on the back.

err actually you are on the road, like any other road user. He has a right to pull you over and tell you not to mono on public roads, just like he has a right to pull over some guy on a minimoto pulling monos up the road...

He was a bit over the top in telling you to let your tyres down tho!!

**Karma** · 30th November 2005, 23:17

Well if you're using the road then technically you can get busted for it. Pretty anal thou. What time was it that you got pulled?

If he asked me to let my tyres down I'd say sure, but you can give me a lift home. I've got to get home quick see, NYPD Blue is on I think this is the one where they shoot that cop for stopping some bloke for some pointless shit.

they have to catch you and identify you within 10mins or you get off, you can be done for anything a guy at work got done for speeding last week

On the first point, Bullshit.
On the second, correct - a pushie rider on a public road is subject to the same laws as any motor vehicle driver (now tell me why pushie riders don't get busted for riding a bike across a pedestrian crossing).
