MoBikeFed comment: More about the 15 foot flag protest ride at: https://www.facebook.com/events/174707646220322/With a brisk north wind howling down his street, David Rice set out to show just how outrageous he thinks Rep. Jay Houghton's bill is.
The Houghton, a Republican from Missouri's 43rd District, proposed a bill requiring bicyclists to fly a fluorescent orange flag that's 15 feet above the ground if the bicyclist is riding on county roads. The flag would make bicyclists more visible to motorists, Houghton has said.
Rice affixed such a flag to his road touring bicycle and pedaled down the street. The flag whipped back and forth in the wind, leaning far into driving lanes and snapping close to Rice's face when he turned.
The protest ride will be held Saturday and Sunday, April 9-10, 2016. Our annual Bicycle & Pedestrian Day at the Capitol and Legislators Ride will be held April 11th. http://mobikefed.org/CapitolDay
