(A) It is a civil violation to operate an unsafe bicycle in the town. An UNSAFE BICYCLE is one which does not have a firmly attached seat or seats, a tire on each wheel, an operable steering mechanism, and a functioning breaking mechanism or, if operating during nighttime, is not equipped with lamps and other equipment as required by § 74.11 of this chapter.

(B) A police office who observes a bicycle which he or she has cause to believe is an unsafe bicycle may stop the operator and inspect the bicycle to determine if the same is unsafe within the terms of this subchapter. If the officer finds the bicycle to be an unsafe bicycle, the officer shall issue a warning citation to the operator for a first offense, requiring the deficiencies found to be repaired before the bicycle is again operated on or at a public street, public way or public location.
