I rode for 10 months with no hassle, just curious looks from the local 5-0. I ride responsibly, however my use does get undue attention because of my bikes' configuration. Someone at Jupiter PD must have looked it up, and I got stopped the other day.
Not really a traffic stop, I got a wave from 2 units parked at the beach, so I turned around, thinking it would be the usual Q and A session about the bike, which I dig talking about any time. SURPRISE!
I got told "you cant do that". When I asked, I got told what I feel is incorrect information relevant to other forms of transportation. I did tell them I had a differing opinion, but no avail. I gave up and pedaled home. No ticket, but I feel until I clear the air, I am at risk. :???:
Moral of the story- Never be too ready to show off your cool ride, and be low profile
Also of note- I agree with and would now recommend turning the pedals. I did not and I think it may have cost me.
I do have what I feel is the relevant staute section to show them, but really I feel I am now on the radar, and as long as I am there I am nervous. The currect legislation in my state is pretty confused.
