| Does this apply to riding the bike, or to walking the bike.

1106.2 | its really not much of a loss | CNTROL::GANDARA | | Thu Apr 13 1989 15:45 | 9 |

its not that great a place to ride anyway, bikes get stolen all
the time, I hate riding on cobble bricks, and its impossible to
carry all the bargins back from filenes basement.
Besides theres a lot of people all over the place.

Dunno, the radio announcement didn't say - Laws don't follow
common sense very often, so it might be unwise to assume that this one
applies only to riding... If the rationale for passing it was
"mumbledeespeak_all_them_bikes_and_skateboards_cluttering_up_the
_sidewalks_are_dangerous, people_could_trip_on_them" then you could
be in trouble for walking it.

`Walking it' is the only way it's allowed there.....that is
the way I heard it this morning on the way in to work. You must
get off, walk it thru the entire area, and then ride away.....or
you might be subject to a $ 20. dollar fine, impoundment or both.
Like someone else said, no loss `tho....you wouldn't want
to ride there anyways...a Filene's bag might blow into your spokes....

1106.5 | move fast | AKOV88::LAVIN | Oh, It's a profit deal | Thu Apr 13 1989 17:47 | 3 |
| Then again, somebody has to catch you. I wonder what the relative
speed of a cyclist is vs. the average Boston Patrolman... Besides,
don't they have to break off high speed chases these days ? (8-)

re .5
the average patrolman is on horseback in the downtown crossing
its the brown stuff you have to watch out for.
