CPSC is proposing changes to the Bicycle definitions
Posted: November 30, 2010 | Author: Recreation Law | Filed under: Cycling |
The changes are mostly technical, but if you manufacture bikes or parts you should review them.
The consumer products safety commission (CPSC) is proposing new rule changes for bicycles. The changes will affect
Sidewalk bikes
Track bikes
Recumbents
Mechanical issues
Testing procedures
The comical part of this is bicycles are classified under hazardous substances such as toxic, corrosive, flammable or combustible, an irritants. Granted some petroleum guzzling drivers may find cyclists as irritants, however the idea overall is a laugh.
The rule can be found at 16 CFR part 1512.
Comments must be submitted by January 18, 2011. You must include the agency name and docket number with your comments.
