Well there you go: if it passes and you do get pulled over, you were commuting or running an errand on a bike instead of using a car, walking, or public transportation. Hardly 'recreational' at that point.

But seriously:

There will be a public hearing, open for comment about the bill in question. Track the bill on your state website and find out when that hearing will be. Do some research, get your argument against down pat, summarize it with any citations needed in a written statement, and show up with enough copies + extras for the whole committee who will be examining the bill.

And then show up and speak out against it at that hearing.

Find out what the rules for testifying at a public hearing are before getting there. Expect to be at the capital all day -- a session when something will be discussed is not an appointment; this bill might not be the first one up for consideration and comment.

Voting is bare minimum democracy; public hearings for bills are where you actually get to have a voice and share your opinion regarding pending legislation.

If this passes in your state and you didn't show up to speak out against it, you're part of the problem...
