SDBC remains supportive of the original SB70, requesting a 3ft clearance when passing a cyclists. The amendment – to require reflective material on the person’s bicycle and clothing – only confuses the issue of bicyclists as vehicles and the message to safely share the road.
Please, take this opportunity to cultivate your relationship with your senators and remind them – they can support the original bill yet still be opposed to the amendment.
SB 70 and the amendment will be heard in the Senate tomorrow (Thursday) at 2pm.

Thank you.
