Mainichi: Teen apprehended for riding double on bicycle in Nagano
A teen has been apprehended for violating the Road Traffic Law for repeatedly riding double on a bicycle, police said. Police apprehended the 15-year-old, whose name has been withheld because he is a minor, following an incident in Suwa over the weekend. Law enforcers said they had not heard of any cases of people being apprehended for riding double in the past 20 years. Investigators accuse the 15-year-old of illegally riding double on a bicycle with a friend on a road in front of JR Kamisuwa Station's west exit at about 2:15 p.m. on Saturday. When a police officer tried to question the teen, he allegedly fled for about 300 meters before being apprehended. The 15-year-old had been previously warned for riding double in Suwa on May 16, police said.
