from Bicycle Colorado: “Bicycle Safety Bill Keeps Rolling – Extra Step May Need Your Action…”
Our efforts defended against many opposition amendments in the House, but one puzzling amendment did pass. This amendment would prohibit bicyclists from passing each other on state highways with lanes less than 12 feet wide. Bicycle Colorado realizes this doesn’t make sense and will continue to work with legislators to improve the bill for the Governor’s signature.
We respectfully ask bill supporters to be ready to weigh in one last time to change this confusing language. Because we often receive only one or two days’ notice before a vote, be sure to sign up for eNews and special alerts. Together we can make positive changes to how bicyclists are treated on Colorado’s roads.
