The Suffolk County Legislature has approved a bill that could penalize reckless bicyclists. The measure targets riding while under the influence, having one or more wheels off the ground at a time and trick biking.
Republican Legis. Rudy Sunderman sponsored the measure. He said some bicyclists endanger other vehicles, pedestrians and themselves.
After more than an hour of debate, lawmakers passed the bill by a vote of 13-4, with Democratic Legis. Kara Hahn abstaining. Hahn had a separate bill on the table to address reckless biking. There were some legislators who voted yes but wanted to revisit some of the language.
