ITEM 14. BICYCLE REGULATIONS — ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 9, ENTITLED
"MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC," CHAPTER 1, ENTITLED "DEFINITIONS,
ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC PROVISIONS," AND
CHAPTER 8, ENTITLED "BICYCLES," TO EXPAND THE DEFINITION OF
"BICYCLE"; PERMIT THE RIDING OF TWO BICYCLES ABREAST EACH
OTHER; REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT THAT BICYCLISTS RIDE TO THE FAR
RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD; AND AUTHORIZE THE IMPOUNDMENT OF
INOPERABLE BICYCLES. (FIRST CONSIDERATION)
Comment: This ordinance makes three changes to the provisions for bicycles. First,
the definition of bicycle is amended to include recumbent and upright bicycles.
Second, the code currently requires that bicyclists ride single -file and as far to the
right hand side of the road as practicable. Surrounding communities permit bicyclists
to ride two abreast on roadways, and most bicycle advocacy groups promote cycling
two abreast because it makes cyclists more visible. This ordinance amends the
code accordingly. Third, broken and inoperable bicycles attached to bike racks take
up scarce space and currently cannot be impounded until they have been left
unattended for 7 days, and this ordinance allows for impounding of inoperable
bicycles without having to wait 7 days.
