That is so cool. I hope they set one up on the downhill side of my neighborhood hill. (So far it is always on the uphill.) Maybe I will call traffic control as a "concerned citizen" and request one...
The ones we have say SLOW DOWN if you are speeding. I would have some take my picture!!!

Wow and I thought I was the only one whoever thought about trying to get a speeding ticket on my bike. We have this one hill near or cemetary that is easy to get over 30mph on and its in a 25 zone. I got to admit it sounds like it would be a cool thing to tell my other cycling friends.

I think the fastest I've gotten on those around here is 15--they seem to only set them up in the flats. By the way, if a red light won't change for a bicycle, it is considered defective and the ticket should be tossed out.

I'm with someone else here on the board that said if they ever got a speeding ticket on their bike they'd frame it! Heck I'd even go to traffic school for that!! Compare chainring tatts and bad biker girl stories with all the other ingrates! LOL
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
