MOBikeFed agenda outlined in Columbia Missourian article
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Sun, 10/10/2004 - 3:41am
The Columbia Missourian has an article outlining the Missouri Bicycle Federation's main thrusts for the upcoming session of the Missouri legislature:
Bicycling is Laura Vie’s ticket to freedom. Since childhood, riding has been the 43-year-old’s escape from daily life’s responsibilities.The Missouri Bicycle Federation's Legislative Platform is posted for commentary and response.
“When I ride, my mind is free to think clearly,” said Vie, an exercise physiologist at Progressive Spine Care & Rehab in Columbia. “It’s very satisfying being able to travel miles down quiet rural roads.” . . .
Now, as secretary of the Missouri Bicycle Federation, Vie and other cyclists are working to make the state’s roads safer for those who travel on two wheels and four.
The group is pushing legislation in hopes that some minor legal changes can make a big impact for Missouri cyclists.
