Thanks for the heads-up.

When you get a ticket cycling, does it go on your driving record just as getting ticketed while driving a car?

I know someone who years back had gotten a ticket for exceeding the posted 8 mph speed limit on the strand in Hermosa. Before his court date he met another cyclist who got cited for the same thing. This other cyclist did some homework and found that it was against state law for a municipality to post a speed limit below 15 mph. The guy I know later got a notice from the city of Hermosa that his case had been dropped. The strand still has the 8 mph signs, but apparently they can't cite you for exceeding the 8 mph, assuming that law is still on the books.
