The Law Offices of James M. Freeman, P.C.

As the weather turns warm the bike rack outside my downtown office building is literally teaming with bikes. Lately there have been a couple scooters parked at the bike rack. One typically has a note stuck to it that quotes a law that seems to allow scooters to use bike racks. Today I noticed that the scooter had been ticketed despite the note. Is it legal for scooters to lock to bike racks?

Thanks,

Almost one-third of my bicycle cases involve the "left cross." For some reason these are more common than the "right hook." I suspect it has to do with visibility issues and motorists' mistaken belief swith respect to bicyclists 'rights on the road.

It is illegal to ride your bicycle on the sidewalk.
