Please take a moment to contact your Senator on the Committee to thank them in advance for their support of this resolution which recognizes the importance of bicycling in transportation and recreation.

A nice wink and nod and gesture, with (yes) all its nominal effects. A far more important thing would be a major commitment at the federal, state and local level to use our highway funds to improve, and broaden shoulders on roadways. Dollar for dollar, nothing would improve cyclist safety more.
