A couple of additional comments about "activist" organizations. Not all are created equal. Some are disease oriented, like the American Lung Association or the American Diabetes Organization. Others are structural change oriented, like most bicycle organizations. They are geared to working with politicians and government workers to expand bicycling. Others, like MADD, were created to achieve social change by forcing the community at large to address reckless behaviour by drivers.

So, if you truly want to address what you believe is an unfair legal environment you need to either join, or create an organization that is focused on that. For a variety of reasons the typical bicycle organization is neither focused on that or very amenable to change.

Along the way you will see a variety of opinions. If you truly want change and are able to motivate people you will be able to use them productively.

Well, it is up to you. Action or ?
