Yep, silly old law written by people who don't cycle. It might have had a place 40 years ago, but modern bike brakes are so easy to use (and keep adjusted) that it's at best an anachronism and at worst now a safety hazard in it's own right.

not all kids bikes: only bikes with a maximum seat height between 22 and 25 inches (under 22 inches don't require brakes at all).

in practice, this winds up applying to 14" wheel bikes and maybe some 16" wheel bikes.

definitely a silly rule though.

Yeah, Seth from Berm Peak did a great youtube video about it.

    Oh good god can we not reference random videos by name? If there’s a point to be made then make it and reference the video as a source. I will not do your work for you

      You typed a comment far longer than the search that would've surfaced the video. Smh

        But that's the effort that has to be duplicated by all readers of that comment, and reader/commenter ratio is ~10, so.. might as well include the link in everyone's interests..
