[SDCBC] 60mph in the Bike Lane?

[Frank Paiano]

My understanding is that the bike lanes were designed to handle top speeds of 25 mph.  Given this, whether or not it is legal for him to be using the bike lane should not be the pertinent question.  The important question is, "Whatever vehicle you are operating, how intelligent is it to be traveling at 60 mph in a bike lane designed for 25 mph?" 

P.S. I seriously doubt that it is legal to operate it in the bike lane but we'll let some scholarly attorney-type person do the digging into the vehicle code.

Tonight on Channel 10 News, a man was interviewed who is the first to 
own a new all-electric scooter (read as motorcycle) that is freeway 
legal and can reach a top speed of 60 mph.  He claims in the 
interview that he is legally allowed to operate his vehicle Bike Lanes.

Could this possibly be true?  The implications are astounding!!

More research is required.
