In case you haven’t heard yet, St. Charles County in the St. Louis suburbs is considering a total bicycle ban on several rural highways. While this doesn’t directly affect us in here in Kansas City, it raises the specter of a very dangerous precedent in our state.
Please sign the petition against the bike ban to support our friends on the other side of the state and to speak out for the rights of all Missouri cyclists. MoBikeFed is shooting for 2500 signatures by Monday, and is at 1800 right now.
I live in St. Louis and cycle to work everyday and was looking for a Facebook site to “like” that supports cyclist’s rights in St. Charles, where a bicycle ban is being proposed. When I searched “St. Charles bike” in Facebook, I got one result titled “Please sign the St. Charles bike ban petition.” Until I clicked on the link and read on, I thought it was a site for those supporting the bike ban instead of opposing it. Perhaps you should change the wording for this page to something like “Please sign the petition to support bicyclists in St. Charles” or similar.
Thanks for your efforts on this!
