Mandates...mandates....only good when ramifications happen when they are not followed, and I don't mean people getting hit on bikes. I MEAN PEOPLE GOING TO JAIL!!! We too have the same problems.
Great job!!!
I wouldn't ride a bike anywhere in this town, or cross a street, these drivers are nuts!!! No pedestrians and cyclists are safe
I always do!

Need to also include language for not riding two or three deep on the shoulder.
Bravo 👏
There should be a separate bike road several feet to the side of the road, about the distance as the sign.
