I heard the same story, which indicated that the number of Tampa pull-overs exceeds the numbers for Miami, Orlando, and other FL cities combined. At least
one woman featured in the story described being pulled over multiple times on the same trip.

Subject: GCCMail: Bike registration?
I heard on NPR today (also in Washington Post) that Tampa Police are pulling African American cyclists over for DWB ( driving while black). Several cyclists interviewed said the police asked for registration. Does anyone know if Florida
requires bikes to be registered? I learned of a florida statute requiring a bell. I have a bell. Here is the news article cited by NPR:

I have to go to California for a work trip Aug 21- Sep 07 and wanted to take my bike with me. All the GCC bike cases are checked out for that time - would anyone have a bike case I could borrow for those 2.5 weeks?
Thanks! Antje
