—Let’s go national! Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry has signed a bill
\ninto law making it a finable offense for a driver to pass a cyclist
\ncloser than three feet. Oklahoma is believed to be only the third state
\nto have a safe-passing law. It also simplifies what a bicycle is,
\nclarifies where cyclists should ride on the road, removes a requirement
\nthat cyclists ride on sidewalks, and establishes fines if a motorist
\nhits a cyclist. Credit for this advancement in cyclists’ rights goes to
\nthe Oklahoma Bicycle Coalition.\n<\/p>\n
