Folks from Florida can now ride their bicycle with no hands. They've just passed a bill which removes a statue declaring "Any person operating a bicycle shall keep at least one hand upon the handlebars."

The new bill also allows police to issue a citation for anyone riding their bike without proper lights and reflectors at night time. And that's about it.
