The local government reaction to the Crawford County Bicycle accident has
been a dramatic overreaction.  From banning all organized rides to now
wanting blanket immunity, counties across the state are asking the state
legislature to take action.  This on-line petition is only one tool to
counter the quest to ban bicycles or prohibit cyclists from seeking court
rulings even in the most irresponsible cases of poor design or poor
maintenance.

 

 

I don't think cyclists should overuse the courts, but one case in over 36
years doesn't seem like enough to justify this reaction from counties. 
Please consider signing the petition and asking your friends to do the
same.  This is just one of many things the Iowa Bicycle Coalition is doing
to project cyclists rights and make cycling safer and better in Iowa.

 

Thanks,
