[NMCycling] Fwd: HB 192 (5-Feet To Pass Bicycles) Final Vote Help

[John Vance via Bike-racers]

And of course, the Senate has tacked a mandatory bike lane law onto this
legislation.  It has gone from a feel good law that in reality would do
nothing to one that does actual harm to the rights of cyclists to use the
roadways in safe and reasonable manner.

I urge everyone to contact your House representives and ask then to vote
against the bill as amended in the Senate.
