I rode ahead, walked thru construction site, & finished my ride; nothing happened. Is what the guy said true? Could they, & why would they, confiscate my bike? What's wrong w/walking thru a construction site? Bout walking around it?
Walking through a construction site is taking a chance in getting injured, especially if heavy equipment is operating in the area, and be ready to pay a price if you inadvertently cause an incident, whether you're the victim or not.
