I have mentioned H3006, The Bicycle Safety Bill on the blog a few times. This legislation, which will update our state traffic laws pertaining to bicyclsts, is extremely important. For those of you who don't know, the bill went though the House and then through the Senate. Just this week, the House adjourned without voting to approve the Senate version of the bill. One legislator is strongly opposed to the Senate amendments and is working to convince others to vote against concurrence with the Senate version and to send the bill to conference committee. We don't want the bill to go to conference committee, so please contact your representative if you haven't already.
Also, please plan to attend a press conference on Tuesday, May 27 at 11 AM in the lobby of the State House in Columbia if you can. Please wear regular clothes and the PCC will give you a sticker to identify you as a bicycle supporter. I know it is late notice on Memoral Day weekend, but attend if you can. Unfortunately, I have a speaking engagement on Tuesday at 12:30, so I won't be able to make it down to Columbia. Hopefully some of you from Greenville can attend and show our support. We really need to see H3006 signed into law.
