Two individuals were arrested yesterday in Barry Square and South End for “BICYCLE LIGHTS,REFLECTORS,BRAKES,WH.” It’s safe to assume that means the cyclists lacked these accessories, had insufficient ones, or were doing it wrong. In both cases, the arrested men had other charges tacked on later, like possession and sale of narcotics, and violation probation. Since the average cyclist in Hartford does not use lights on his bike, I think it’s safe to assume that unless one is looking sketchy for one reason or another, he probably is not going to get arrested simply for lacking appropriate safety gear. On the other hand, the bond was listed as $150, so it’s cheaper to just get the lights, whistles, sirens, etc., and skip the tour of Jennings Road.

That’s sketch. If no one follows the law, they should change it rather than using it in arbitrary ways like this.
