Some here might not know about the days when time trialing was illegal 
in the UK. Roger might want to give a quick summary of the situation and 
the work-arounds.

Today in the U.S. some advocates have pointed out a potential 
disadvantage of having a bicycle legally defined as a vehicle: It may 
make bicyclists in technical violation of certain anti-racing laws - for 
example, when a cyclist and a buddy sprint for the next telephone pole. 
In at least some states, advocacy organizations closely monitor proposed 
traffic laws to ensure that certain ones apply only to _motor_ vehicles.
