—Let’s go national! Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry has signed a bill
into law making it a finable offense for a driver to pass a cyclist
closer than three feet. Oklahoma is believed to be only the third state
to have a safe-passing law. It also simplifies what a bicycle is,
clarifies where cyclists should ride on the road, removes a requirement
that cyclists ride on sidewalks, and establishes fines if a motorist
hits a cyclist. Credit for this advancement in cyclists’ rights goes to
the Oklahoma Bicycle Coalition.
