I'm working on that; NY appears to be the only state where it is illegal. It won't be the first time I've done something illegal however, and some of the things I've done risked far more than a traffic ticket. I'm older now though. In fact, old enough that the geometry of a racing bike just doesn't really fit me anymore. Nor, in fact, does a nice mountain bike like my Trek 7000 that mostly hangs on a wall in the garage. A nice expensive racing bike also doesn't take care of the headwinds for me.
