two- or three-wheeled devices

2011-03-20 19:06:10.185402+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Shadow forwarded along a news story about a unicyclist who's challenging a New York City ordinance:

New York City says it's fighting a $3 million lawsuit brought by a Brooklyn unicyclist who's taking issue with a technicality in city code. Circus performer Kyle Peterson was issued a ticket in 2007 for violating an ordinance that prohibits riding a "two- or three-wheeled device" on sidewalks.

I know that there were for a while a group of unicyclists riding trails in Marin who claimed themselves protected because of similar wordings in rules that kept mountain bikers to fire roads...
