Instead, find the local road cycling clubs, and contact their leaders about repealing the ordinance. Experienced road cyclists tend to be highly opposed to mandatory-sidepath-use ordinances. They can probably get their whole club to sign a petition if required.
Please feel free to re-use material from our letter to Cary.

They do not just promote path riding as a replacement for roadway cycling. If they did I would no longer be a part of the organization from whom I recently received an award as Father or the Foundation for my Vision & Service. That is what the award says on it anyway, I humbly accept it. I was the one who started the foundation. Our major project this year is to survey the existing on street bike routes & potential new on street bike routes. If we only promoted path riding in place of roadway cycling we would not be conducting the survey.
Even though the foundation promotes safe cycling on both the paths & the roadways there are those who only prefere to ride on the paths. That is fine & their choice, I've nothing against that. Ever since our start we have attracted some very diverse people to be a part of this.
