My feeling is reading the bill of rights is that it acknowledges or publicly states that cyclists are equal citizens of the road. Unfortunately, it could be easily misused and misinterpreted that cyclists are getting special mention and motorists are not; which, in this volitile political climate, could work against the proposal. I would have mentioned motorists as equally responsible for their actions on the road and that both cyclists and motorists require end of ride amenities.The bit about peacibly gathering is probably to staple that fact to foreheads of law enforcement / homeland security-types that Critical Masses and other group rides are legitimate activities that don't need "special" permits.

Sweet of them to guarantee first amendment rights, though I thought that's what the first amendment was for already. http://www.bikebaltimore.org/cyclists-bill-of-rights-passes/ -- Scott Rose Vancouver, BC _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
