Minibike mayhem.

I agree that people are riding these things like lunatics, but I don't see why we need to ban them. Can't we just make people follow the same rules they're already supposed to follow for bicycle or motorcycle riding? This is another case where we already have a law that controls it, we just have to enforce it instead of wasting our time making more special laws about it.

One cop says they're hard to catch because you can't chase them in police cars - they ride up on sidewalks, etc. Well, get some motorcycle cops after them. Or horse or bicycle cops. Don't we have enough vehicles for police officers in this city to figure it out?

Of course, yesterday Rob and I almost got killed by some idiot racing down Main Street in Charlestown on a minibike, ignoring a red light.

If only there was a law to prevent people from being idiots. Now that would actually do some good.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
