Holy Sh*t! On the way to work this morning Jason spotted one of the most horrific things he's seen in a long time. Some stupid whore riding down Rosselle Street in Riverside during morning traffic carrying a very young child in her arms. You know he took a picture and also reported back that she was dippin' and weavin' through traffic and almost fell at least twice while he was sitting at the light at King and Rosselle Streets. This has got to be against the law, right?

This is not against the law. It is merely frowned upon.
Classy. I guess a baby seat would cost too much.
As for it being illegal, I think it would be, since she's not wearing a helmet. Don't all persons under 16(?) have to wear a helmet on a bike in florida?
Yes, she is indeed braking the law. A couple of them in fact.
316.2065:
(3)(a) A bicycle may not be used to carry more persons at one time than the number for which it is designed or equipped, except that an adult rider may carry a child securely attached to his or her person in a backpack or sling.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (a), a bicycle rider must carry any passenger who is a child under 4 years of age, or who weighs 40 pounds or less, in a seat or carrier that is designed to carry a child of that age or size and that secures and protects the child from the moving parts of the bicycle.
(d) A bicycle rider or passenger who is under 16 years of age must wear a bicycle helmet that is properly fitted and is fastened securely upon the passenger's head by a strap, and that meets the standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Z 90.4 Bicycle Helmet Standards), the standards of the Snell Memorial Foundation (1984 Standard for Protective Headgear for Use in Bicycling), or any other nationally recognized standards for bicycle helmets adopted by the department. As used in this subsection, the term "passenger" includes a child who is riding in a trailer or semitrailer attached to a bicycle.
it is also illegal for a bicyclist to ride on the sidewalk...
