Baby, You Can Drive My Bike

"Fancy riding" ban got you down?  Well, then here is a bicycle on Craigslist that you might want to consider:

As is apparent from the description provided by the seller, this bike is not ridden in the typical manner of most bicycles.  Instead, this bike is "driven."  Must be quite a unique machine!  I'm thinking that this bicycle might fall outside the scope of the Milwaukee bicycle ordinance since it is "driven" instead of ridden.  And there aren't any laws on the books banning fancy driving as far as I know.  As a lawyer, I couldn't advise you to do something so daring, but it's food for thought.

But while we're on the subject, as long as we have a ban on fancy riding, we might as well also ban fancy driving.  Frankly, fancy driving is much more of a threat to public safety than some guy riding his bike with no hands.  I can't think of anything fancier than texting your friends at the same time that you're propelling a 5,000 pound vehicle down the road at high speeds.  Can you?
