We can improve system for bicyclists

Statewide:

“Bike tickets are on the rise and they carry the same fines and legal consequences that vehicle infractions do. This system is a bad one for four big reasons:

1. The cost of a ticket is disproportionate to the cost of riding a bicycle.
2. Bicycles are not 2-ton blocks of metal that go 70 mph and kill thousands of people a year
3. It is often difficult for bicyclists to follow the rules safely
4. Motorists are almost never held responsible for collisions with bicycles”
