FLL, do you really see a problem slowing down to 40 mph to pass a bike at 3 ft? Yiikes! I guess you've never experienced a close call while riding a bike. Like a lot of laws, this one seems to be merely putting in writing what makes common sense. But, if common sense were common, we wouldn't need as many laws, I guess.

With the energy concerns and costs, it sure would be nice to be able to bike to more places. Unfortunately, the roads are not bike friendly in most places and you're taking your life in your hands going out on a bike.
