Ask Mr. Answer Person: "What does the new bike ordinance actually say?"

Boyd e-mails Mr. Answer Person with an excellent suggestion: "Details of the content of the new bicycle ordinance would make the news release more valuable . . . perhaps an additional news article would be informative.  I often camp at Pulpit Rock and know many visitors bring bikes but are unaware of any rules that might be different for Decorah."

Mr. Answer Person says: The new bike ordinance is in an attachment you can access through the link on this story.

One minor clarification: City of Decorah officials modeled Decorah's bike ordinance on the bike ordinance used by all the communities in the Des Moines metro area--specifically because they wanted Decorah's bike ordinance to be the same as the bike ordinances in other towns.
