On the last day of the legislative session, a large group of cyclists rode into Annapolis in a show of support for a safety bill one week after fellow cyclist Larry Bensky was killed on the road. His wife Tamara went to tell lawmakers his story.
"Last Tuesday when he was riding his bike on an open road on a beautiful afternoon, with no oncoming traffic, someone hit him from behind at a rate of speed at which killed him instantly," she said.
For five years, cyclists have been trying to get a law passed requiring motorists to give them 3 feet of passing distance.
"You know if that law was in place and that driver knew that that law was in place and followed it, my husband would be here," Bensky said.
