On the 24th, at 9:00am, the Senate Trans Committee will hold hearings on the state
of bicycling in Vt.
The listed contact is Sheri Burch @ 802.829.2254 or email sburch@leg.state.vt.us

Some issues that might be discussed:
Safety, Registration of bikes, shoulders, do you ride to work ?, accidents, $$$ saved, etc...

I wont be able to get to Mont-P at that time due to work but I emailed a long letter.

I thought Vermont was among the most bike friendly states in the nation. (Cold, sometimes very intense winters not withstanding)

Do I understand correctly?

Definately the most bike freindly state Ive ever been to !
This is just forward thinking stuff .....Vermont has a few Ped/Bike
orgs. The Senate Trans committee is cool enuff to actually care
about what thier members might have to say about future development of the
state.
The email I recieved asks bicyclers just to show up and you will get your say !!
Pretty neat !! :D
