I'm impressed that it seems they actually heard me and stopped pushing "cyclists must ride to the right" to motorists. But as you say the real issue is how to get motorists to pick up that pamphlet.

I will also note that they were playing around with this text for an opener:
The primary impetus for paved roads was for the safe travel of bicycles! More and more people are taking to two-wheel rather than four for recreation, exercise and daily travel. Bicycles are entitled to Maryland’s non-interstate roadways, just as cars are! Bicycles are subject to the same laws and need to obey the same traffic devices as vehicles.
Which I though made an interesting point.
