There is an exclusion for ‘racing’ bikes, but I CBF pulling up the code and checking the details, generally yeah, all retail bikes have to be _sold_ with reflectors/bell/guard. Whole lotta sweet fixies were pinged. The retrofit chain guards were the flimsiest pieces of plastic they could get injection moulded up in a rush.

no ape hangers or fixie dildos either:  
“The handlebars shall have a minimum width of 350 mm and be symmetrically located with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle. The vertical distance between the top of the handlebar grips, when assembled to the highest riding position according to the  
manufacturer’s instructions, and the seat surface of the saddle in its lowest position, shall not exceed 400 mm.”

Yes.

This does look like it goes down clear creek road, which is not in Bangor.
