Riding a Bicycle on Shabbat

Riding a Bicycle on Shabbat
Day: Wednesday
Date: October 14, 2015
Parshat: Noah
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 337

In memory of Adam Eliyahu ben Reina

It is not proper for an adult to ride a bicycle on Shabbat. However, it is permissible for children to ride tricycles on Shabbat as long as there are no batteries or lights that will be turned on. It is also permissible for children to ride roller blades or even to wear shoes with bells that will make noise when they walk. However, even children should not be given shoes to wear on Shabbat that will light up when they walk unless the batteries were removed before Shabbat.
