Only someone like my friend Kieth would appreciate that from an Oregon law point of view, he is not actually looking for a bicycle. ORS 801.150 is clear that anything with all wheels less than 14 inches, is not a bicycle! to wit: 801.150 “Bicycle.” “Bicycle” means a vehicle that: (1) Is designed to be operated on the ground on wheels; (2) Has a seat or saddle for use of the rider; (3) Is designed to travel with not more than three wheels in contact with the ground; (4) Is propelled exclusively by human power; and (5) Has every wheel more than 14 inches in diameter or two tandem wheels either of which is more than 14 inches in diameter so, where's the UCI stand on this matter? Will someone propose an OBRA rule? Will there be endless wheel size matters/doesn't matter flame wars? Mark Ginsberg "Keith A.

I hope to have him ready to go for the kiddie kilos at Alpenrose this Spring! :) He test drove a Gary Fisher Sun Spot and did really well on it. Anyone have a future racer that has outgrown his training wheeled cruiser? -K Mark J.
