We need your help to get them out of the committee, so they can be voted on. The
two bills are the Bicyclists’ Bill of Rights and Responsibilities (H. 1411),
which organizes the state’s bicycling laws and requires that drivers look before
opening their car doors; and Safe Routes to School (H. 2121), which would
earmark a portion of transportation safety funds to help make it easier for kids
to bike and walk to school.</FONT></P>
