I just sent this to Bart Korman:
Dear Sir:
My grandparents were school teachers in Missouri in the early 1900's, my father was born in Joplin in 1930. I have vacationed in your state since I was a child in the 1960's. My wife and I stop in Missouri during our vacations twice a year.
We ride our bicycles in the late afternoons and early evenings to explore the local historical attractions.
I am a law abiding citizen and will not worry if it is legal to ride on any state highway.....in any state.
I feel sorry for the local residents of your state if your bill passes. I would resent being treated as low life to be outlawed because my particular mode of legal transportation happens to cause someone to hang up and drive and pay attention to other vehicles on a public funded roadway.
It will not be the first problem for my wife and I. We will reroute our travels around your state.
Thank you,
Gregory Alan Jones
