The Law

The bustling boardwalk of Virginia Beach sees heavy pedestrian and bicycle traffic, leading to numerous collisions. To prevent show-offs from causing accidents, a local ordinance requires cyclists to keep at least one hand on the handlebars at all times. So much for demonstrating your supreme balance skills while cruising near the beach.
