Isnt a Push Bike a recreational Vehicle?
I just thought id add that there are hundreds of bikes on roads every day and they are not getting fined. Maybe im wrong but they are recreational vehicles too are they not?
Maybe its just because old people have a grudge against ALL people on skateboards.

I just need to get this off my back.
I fucking hate my area. I cruise wherever I can to get where I need to go and last night I was at my local shopping center that I skate around all the time.
I usually talk to the main security guard there and he doesn't have a problem with me skating around as long as it's in the outside area of the center and not inside. Anywho, last night a different (new?) security guard was there and the second he saw me put my board on the ground he told me to get off.
Fair enough that it is actually a rule around there and the other guard is just cool enough to leave it, but now I'm left with only about 100 metres of descent road to skate round my area until I'm good enough to tackle all the poorly built roads with massive hills and large amounts of traffic.
...Pain in the ass.
That is all.

Push bikes are not allowed on highways so the gravity bike idea would go out the window pretty quick. I only have one DUI charga against my name and it was for riding a shopping trolly in burnside. Any mode of transport on the road comes under either vehicle or recreational laws including, horses, roller skates, skateboards, bikes, scooters ect. ect. You can even lose demerit points for surfing drunk as a friend of mine found out the hard way. They are still classed as rec. vehicles.
Peace

Push bikes are allowed on any road as long as it doesn't have a "Bicycles Not Allowed" sign. The Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Harbour Tunnel and the M5 East Tunnels are examples of the very small number of roads that disallow bikes. Highways aren't the issue - all the highways in Sydney allow bikes; the Pacific Highway, the Princes Highway, the Great Western Highway, as well as the M4, the M5, the M7 and the M2 (except for part of it) allow bikes.

Even Freeways allow bikes, the Hume Freeway for example. There's probably some exceptions though.

Our freeways down here dont allow bikes, they have seperate bike tracks about 10 meteres off the road with vegetation and a big concrete wall between the road and them.
