Portland's avid biking community spun into an uproar today over a proposed ban geared towards young children on bikes.
House Bill 2228 introduced by Rep. Mitch Greenlick (D-Portland), would amend an Oregon statute that bans unlawful passengers on a bike by making it illegal to carry a child younger than 6 either on the bike or in a trailer. The bill includes a fine of $90.
"The bill itself is just ridiculous," said Jonathan Maus, editor of the popular blog, bikeportland.org.
Other avid bikers got more personal, calling Greenlick "an idiot" in angry emails.
"I've got about 100 emails this morning," Greenlick said.
