Nothing in that statement will lead me to believe that just because they further divide up how something that can be ridden on can be categorized, that they all are not covered by the blanket description I previously posted and linked. There still needs to be a specific exception.
I'm not really invested in this either. I've looked before, many times. might be that a legal scholar looking at the Mississippi laws will find them ambiguous and vague concerning their application to bicycles. I only post here because these are what I can easily find and am hoping some other will do the leg work that can convince me otherwise. So I'm not going to go out of my way to disprove any of what I've shown.
