Proposed 3 feet-to-pass under attack-

The 2009 Colorado Bicycle Safety Bill will be voted on by the State Senate possibly as soon as this Friday, Feb. 13. This bill will help protect bicyclists on roads and makes it easier for motorists to pass bicyclists safely. Opponents are trying to remove the 3 feet safe passing distance.

Here’s how you can help:

1. Call or email the State Senator from your district:

Suggested points to put into your own words-

-I encourage you to support Senate Bill 148

-Please keep the 3 foot safe passing distance

-I believe this bill will improve road safety

**This is a State Bill, please do not contact Federal Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet**

2. Forward this message to riding friends, family, and people who care about road safety. Include this on your blog/club website/networking site.

3. Contribute to the cause- Donations from bicyclists are how Bicycle Colorado takes on expensive projects like legislation and safety education. Please help increase bicyclists’ strength.
