No Longer a Crime in Florida to Ride a Bike with No Hands

“Look Ma, No Hands,” could have gotten you a ticket in 2010

Life is like riding a bicycle: you don’t fall off unless you stop pedaling. ” 

-Claude Pepper



Do you think you might need a Miami criminal attorney to help you understand some of Florida’s crazy laws?


In response to some Florida laws getting bad press on the internet, in 2011, lawmakers passed a series of bills doing away with a number of the outdated Florida laws that have been called “crazy” and “dumb” by bloggers and in viral emails. Included in those removed from the books was a law banning Floridians from riding bicycles with no hands. If law-abiding Floridians are out of practice, they can now celebrate the reform by practicing their moves.

Traffic Laws Can Cause Real Confusion and Cost Real Money




While a law may have a good reason behind it, not all laws make sense in all situations. Criminal laws, including traffic laws, can be applied and enforced poorly, with serious consequences for the accused.

We can handle major felonies, but for many of our clients, the closest brush they ever have with a cop is because they were going 80 in a 65.  You may not think to call an attorney for a speeding ticket, but for under $100 we can commonly help you save more than that on your ticket.  Remember, there is the cost of the fine, the administrative costs, and the potential increases in your insurance rate.
