Hello WVCC Members -- Our bill, HB3021, is on the House Roads & Transportation Committee agenda tomorrow at 2:00. If you have a few minutes, please call as many delegates as you can to urge their support of the bill. I am attaching talking points just in case you actually reach a delegate. At this point in the session, you will likely reach a voice mail or a secretary and will only be able to encourage support of the bill without giving any reason. Gary and I tried to get all delegates the talking points and even much thorough report developed by the Morgantown Bike Board. The biggest question has been why do not to require all cyclists to ride on the far right of every roadway (this bill would repeal that requirement); they also ask why should bikes not be required to use bike paths if one exists (this would also be repealed). Not much talk about the 4 foot passing requirement. Thanks for your help. kasey
