What to do about unfair fines for biking in Houston
WheelsByTheBay            www.bikeforums.net
Two Latino men who don’t understand English well were riding their bikes on a road in Houston when they were stopped by police, each given a $200 ticket, and told by the police that they should ride on the sidewalk, not in the road. This seems to be a case of discrimination and misinformation, since as far as we know the law here makes road biking legal and sidewalk biking illegal. We’re looking for suggestions about who to contact and what to do in order to get these tickets reviewed and hopefully cancelled, and in order to change the attitude and knowledge of police officers in Houston.

So far people have suggested we contact bike-friendly elected officials (Rodney Ellis and Carol Alvarado) and the organization Bike Houston. Who else could we contact? Do you know of other similar cases?

thanks for your attention. … (replies)

When Bryan Erwin showed up to take part in a charity bicycle ride to benefit multiple sclerosis research earlier this month, he was admittedly apprehensive.

The longtime Marcus football coach rode with the Insperity Express team in the 2013 Bike MS: Sam’s Club Round up Ride on May 4-5 in Frisco and with his teammates covered 150 miles over the 2-day event. Erwin raised $3,200 of his team’s $10,000 donation.

“I had trained off and on and borrowed a bike from a friend, but I had only gone on two rides with it before the event and my longest was 12 miles,” Erwin said. “I had also…
