Final Colorado Bicycle Safety Bill Vote Soon

Friday, March 20, 2009

The Colorado House of Representatives has the Colorado Bicycle Safety Bill on the agenda for today. There are enough bills ahead of it though that it's not expected to be voted on until next week. There's still time to contact your state representative.

I've written about the bill a couple times before but the key points of the bill are

Passing
Lane Position
More than 1 Rider
Anti-harassment

Earlier this week the Colorado bike safety bill passed the House Transportation committee 8-3. I listened to the streaming audio the other day but didn't get the timing right and only heard discussion about an EMT law and old tire disposal. The Colorado Safety bill (SB 148) had passed the Senate about a month ago.

For more information on the bill, see Bicycle Colorado's information page.
