I had a UoA (In Tucson) Officer on a motorcycle today catch me missing a stop sign. My own fault, I saw it late, and stopped about 5 feet over the line. All he did was wave me over, and tell me to stop at the sign next time I came through, he even complemented me on my "Cool Bike"
So far this is the only interaction I have had with any police forces in Tucson, and hopefully, my experiences will be limited to such pleasant encounters.
However I will say, back when I used to ride on manpower alone, I would often see motorized bicycles, and many of them were racing along at speeds that were clearly over the 19mph. If I was going 15, and they were flying past me....
Anyhow, I would encourage anyone in Tucson to enjoy your riding experience, but to keep it safe and easy, keep those regs in mind. Perhaps then we can have a better MB environment for everyone.
Also, to anyone who was caught riding in this freak Tucson rain/hail storm we had today, I hope you made it back ok, I know it threw me for a loop, almost ate it into the curb several times.
