No attack or parry intended; nor any attempt to "get you." The attempt is to point out that BF posters who surround a specious argument (such as a Constitutional Right to travel by bicycle) with a wall of words don't impress me. More to the point, anyone who thinks he can walk into a traffic court and beat a traffic ticket spouting off with a wall of words/Constitutional Rights shtick better be ready for disappointment and have his/her checkbook handy to pay the fine plus court costs.
BTW your reference to Bob Mionske, the bicycling lawyer is very helpful for explaining various arguments and cases on this issue. Bottom line is the "bicycling as a fundamental right" card may have played well in an 1890 U.S court, but not so well anytime since.
