Is It Illegal To Ride With A Cape?

[revvinrav]

I dont know what to dress up as for halloween and ive been thinking of making a motovlog riding around the city in halloween night with a cape. I just wanna know before i pull it off, if its illegal to ride with a cape and if id get in trouble for it lol its nothing that long, its about 3 foot long cape all help and input is welcome

I wouldn't even if it's legal. It's very dangerous!

 

[revvinrav]

its reaallly really short tho. I doesnt go lower than the seat height

 

[SwissMotard]

Three feet is easily enough to cause problems with vision, controls and get caught in moving parts.

Please, just don't do it.

 

[RacinJason]

It shouldnt be illegal, however if it poses a safety hazard to you or anyone else, dont do it.

Have you not seen The Incredibles?!

 

[O8ride]

It's the wearing your underpants over your trousers I'd be more worried about

 

[ReggiewithTwoGs]

I don't see what the problem is with wearing a cape on a bike...

 

[wolfxandxcrow]

this guy has a cape. i'm pretty sure he got to sex all of the women in the video. all.tha.way.

Goon was the perfect way to describe him lmao

I know the date has been and gone but if anyone was to do this people are right too many moving parts on a bike for capes and long dresses etc.

BUT

If you were I would use one that is fastened with Velcro so if it did get caught hopefully it would not take you off. So velcro on the shoulders. If you don't know what I mean look at kids capes they come with a t-shirt now where you velco the cape to the back.

Illegal? I'm thinking it should be mandatory!

Seriously though I did see the incredibles, it's not for me this cape business

 

[zordflea]

Maybe if the cape was shorter (ie. only reached your hips) then there's less chance for it to get caught on any moving part.

lol @ the Incredibles reference btw.

 

[Lurch]

Kids capes on party putfits are held on by velcro to stop them being strangled

 

[ReggiewithTwoGs]

I don't think the velcro would hold going at speed. Once the cape started "caping" it would come off.

 

[Lurch]

Just dont get it caught then!

 

[CBRHoonigan]

Theres no law you saying you cant wear along coat while riding so theres not much different aha

 

[Lurch]

Been said before, but I can't see it being illegal. There's laws that make helmets mandatory, can think of any laws that say you mustnt wear stuff (bar helmets ofc)

Damn it! You got there first with the batman comment!

Superman didn't have a motorbike did he? Just a red thong over his trousers. Bugger
