I would say yes.
The other day, I seriously saw a guy riding his bike while texting. He had let go of his handlebars and was using both hands on his phone. He was riding along a fairly busy road. To his credit, he was wearing a helmet.
Question: What is so important that you have to text while riding a bike?
Answer: Maybe his wife was having a baby, or someone had just died, or........ not really sure.
Granted, I am not a "texter" so I know that I could not physically do both of these activities simultaneously. Still, I think if they have proven that texting while driving is dangerous, then riding a bike and doing the same is also dangerous.
Just a quick google search, and I found this gem:
New CA Law Would Band Mobile Phone Use While Bicycling
Now, I am not necessarily supporting this legislation. I think we have much more important things to pass legislation on, but I do think it shows that this is more of a common problem than we realize. Crazy!
