Contact your VA Delegate Today ! (3 Ft Passing Law)

[DancesWithCars]

Why not just make it a full lane width
instead of cutting us short?

Are we second class vehicles according
to the law??

We wander in the lane/ avoid potholes
and grates (now snow/ slush/ ice
patches).  And giving the motorized
masses the idea that we can't have
the whole lane or ride multiple bikes
horizontal in a lane (parade style)
just furthers the idea we don't count...

It's all just vehicular bullying, imo...
