00:06  hi I’m Greg Barthelette with Barthelette
00:08  Law and I’m your Florida bicycle accent
00:10  attorney
00:11  today i’d like to talk about bicycle
00:13  safety
00:14  as we know
00:15  bicycles are almost exclusively designed
00:18  to be ridden by one person and one
00:20  person only
00:22  so this means when you’re riding your
00:23  bicycle it’s never a good idea to have a
00:25  passenger if your bicycle is not
00:27  designed to carry a passenger
00:29  not only is it dangerous but it’s
00:31  actually against florida law
00:33  specifically Florida Statute 316.2065
00:38 3 (a) and (b)
00:39  prohibit people from carrying a
00:41  passenger on their bike unless their
00:43  bike is specifically designed to carry
00:45  that passenger
00:46  as always ride safely
