Act for Bicycle Safety

Three pro-bicycling bills (HB 82, SB 97, and SB 225) were recently passed by one chamber of the Virginia General Assembly and will soon be heard in the opposite chamber.  Virginia bicyclists can now easily help ensure the passage of these bills by asking their state delegate and senator to vote FOR these bills.

Each of these simple and straightforward bills would help educate motorists about sharing the road with bicyclists and improve traffic justice for bicyclists injured in traffic crashes.

Please use this easy tool, set up by the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA), to email your state delegate and senator directly: [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/451/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=15090 ] .

Thank you for helping to improve bicycling in Virginia.
