I just received this in my email at work. I've removed identifying information, but otherwise the thread is unaltered - it went through several people before it reached me. I have no idea how reliable this is. Anyone else hear anything similar? FWIW...


>I just received this from a friend and I believe it is a valid warning. I have personally seen the solo bikes on both sides of H1, toward East Honolulu in the Kaimuki area…near the overpasses. Usually they are hiding behind a column. We should not be speeding, but we all have a lot on our minds and sometimes the foot is heavy on the pedal. “Be careful out there!”


THIS MAY BE A HOAX BUT DRIVE WITHIN THE LIMITS.............SURCHARGES ARE HIGH FOR SPEEDING TICKETS!!

AND FOR YOU EAST HAWAII TRAVELERS (HAWAII KAI / AINA HAINA): WATCH FOR THE SOLO BIKES ....

IF YOU SEE ONE, LOOK FOR THE OTHER....... IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, EVEN AT NITE.


Got this from a friend of mine. Not sure how true it is, but I'd rather be safe than sorry...

On February 1, the city and county of Honolulu will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy. The city estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay police overtime. There will be 50 police on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main thoroughfares.

They are the following:
H-3 both directions
H-2 both directions
H-1 both directions
Pali Hwy
Likelike Hwy
Nimitz Hwy
Kalanianaole Hwy
Kam Hwy
Farrington Hwy

Now 5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every officer is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked cruisers and they are bringing all their part timers on full time.<

I thought that might be the case but was too lazy to search. Thanks!

I don't understand the point of this hoax.
Are these folks the ultra conservatives?
