OUCH! LOL!
The irony is, though, that if one less cyclist on the road is likely to mean one more car on the road, doesn't it mean that the gamblers are likely to be slowed down more since the law took effect? After all, even if a bike is taking the lane, it's easier to overtake than a car. And a bike doesn't contribute to filling a casino parking lot.
