I agree with the Cal Bike Coalition opposition for many reasons. First it would make the poor the most likely violators. Why not motorcyclists? Why not Pedestrians.

They say it will make California´s streets less safe. They argue: Bicycling with or without a helmet savesas many as 77 livesfor every life lost in a crash. Per hour of participation, bicycling isthree times safer than swimming, and twice as safe as riding in a car. And it´s getting safer. Since 2000, by rate,the risk of bicycling injury in California has dropped 45%. http _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
