Background Staff has recelved a request from an attorney representlng a leaslng organ~zatlon In the Clty of Los Angeles, on the Ven1ce b1ke path, ask1ng 1f we have regulatlons proh~blt~ng the use of four wheel b~cycles on the blke path. Staff has revlewed the materlals and V1ew the four wheel b1cycles as veh1cles (see attached). The blke path lS extremely heavlly used wlth a m~xture af pedestrlans, b~cycl~sts and skaters and does not lend ltself to the safe operatlon of th~s type of vehlcle. There are no provls~ons wlthln the Santa r10nlca Mun1clpal Code at present WhlCh prohlblt thlS type of operat1on. Recornmendatlon Staff recommends that the CIty COUDCll dlrect the Clty Attorney to prepare an ordlnance prohlbltlng the operat1on of vehlcles other than two wheel bicycles on the bike path.

Arnett, D~rector Recreation Four-Wheel Bicycles - Blke Pab' I have reviewed the memo sent to Bob Mye~s cancernlng the rental of four-wheel blkes in venice, and the question of whether they would be allowed on the Santa Manlca Blke Path. Although there 1S not any legal means of restr~cting them at the present tDme, I would strongly recommend that It be done. The blke path, particularly on wee}"ends, lS an absolute "Jungle". I believe that L~ese vehicles, although they may be technically classifled as bicycles, are really Iour-wheel drlve vehlcles, and should not be allowed on our blkepath due to the conflict between blkers, skaters and pedestrians already existlng. I will work wlth Bob Myers to see what we can do In the way of legi5lation to keep then from being allowed on our blkepath.

March 19, 1982 City Attorneys Office City of Santa Monica 1685 Main Street Santa r1onica, Cal1.fornla 90401 Re: Use of four-wheeled bicycles upon beachfront bIke path in Santa Monica. Dear Slrs: Please be advised that the underslgned represen~s certain cl1.ents who are des1.rous of rent1.ng, in the beac~ area, four-wheeled bicycles which would be used upon ~~e ~eac~- front bike path in Santa Monica. It 1.S our in~e~s~c~, at the present, to establish a rental area for thss= tlcycles in Venice and therefore the intent of this lette~ is not tc inquire into procedures, etc., concerning renti~q ~~e bic1c~es in the City of Santa Monica. We are concerned, however, that, should we rent ~~e ~1.cycles ln Venice and patrons ride them into the City 0= San~a Konlcc, that the patrons would be breaking no laws by do~ng so. The bicycles are basically four-wheeled and allow two persons to sit side-by-side, each pro?elling the vehicle with a sepa- rate pedal. For your further information, I am enclosing herewlth a photocopy of a p1cture of the bicycle itself as well as a photocopy of the specif~cat1ons of said bicycle. , Please respond at your earliest convenience as to whether or not this type of vehicle could lawfully be used upon the b1.cycle path in your C1ty.
