Attention BikeDenver members, subscribers and friends:
The Colorado State House is considering House Bill #1094 which
will prohibit the use of hand-held cell phones while driving. Hands-free devices
will be allowed. This bill is sponsored by Rep. Claire Levy, Boulder.
I encourage you to contact your state representatives. Several of the local bicycle
advocacy groups are supporting this bill after a 9 year-old was killed last
fall while cycling in a designated bike lane in Ft. Collins. Many of you
remember the tragedy from several years ago when a text-messaging driver
killed a cyclist in Highlands Ranch. “I know that in my experience, the closest calls
that I have while riding in traffic are with distracted drivers, usually on the phone,” claims BikeDenver board member, Robert Clark.
Let’s join forces and contact our representatives now!
