Use a light at night- it's Florida law. And always obey the bike police. Miami's finest!

I don't quite get the point of this post, but I don't like the way it comes off. What is this person trying to prove?

Nothing entirely worthwhile in the truncated manner its presented in, if you ask me. Reminds me of a parrot reading a dumbed-down PSA.

I just checked CL as I do a few times a day and didnt see this.
I think its harmless, Kurt. As you are probably aware, CL attracts
a lot of uhhhh, 'eccentric' people ( me included :) ), but they have always
been very useful to me from selling a house to bikes, musical instruments, etc.
What I do think is funny though, is there is nothing to do with night riding in the
PSA supplied :lol:
