Bicycles Banned on Downtown Sidewalks

Lancaster City Police are reminding citizens that a new ordinance bans bicycles from sidewalks downtown. A map of the area of the ban can be seen here. Originally skateboards, too, were going to be included, but they were spared because they are easier to hear approaching. In this case, I guess, loud wheels save rights. Skateboards are still banned within 1 block of Penn Square (the intersection of King and Queen Streets).

City bike cops and the Downtown Investment District bike patrol (the DID red shirts) were specificly exempted from the law.

Consider yourself warned.
