Taipei Traffic Laws Enforced

Victor sent out an email update on Taipei city bike law enforcement:

Starting September of this year, there will be fines charged for bicycle violations. They are similar to motor scooter fines, you must:
have front/rear lights
wear helmets
follow traffic signs
not run red lights
not ride in recreational areas (like parks)
not ride against traffic
etc…

Beware...

front and rear lights during the day? that will be an interesting ruling.

i can see lots of those tiny little LED lights being purchased...

Its about time the law caught up with William Obrien.He has been ignoring the road rules in Taiwan for too long now as he tries to get the edge on younger riders.

Bill is getting cagey in his old age but I certainly hope he doesnt fall for the same trap that entangled Lance Armstrong as he tried to remain competitive with younger riders.

Could this be the real reason Bill is heading off to Main, where you only have to stop for moose.
