ALERT: St Charles County Bicycle Ban--what you can do

Public hearings: September 7th, 13th, or 20th.
St Charles County is proposing to ban bicyclists from several state highways that run through the western part of the county.
If the county is successful in banning bicyclists, it will not only be terrible for St Charles County, but will set a very bad precedent that other cities & counties may try to follow across the U.S.
Update 27 Sep 2010: The bill to ban bicycles on rural highways in St Charles County has been defeated. However, efforts to regulate bicycles and bicycle rides in these areas continue and still require our attention. Click here for more information about the bills still on the table and read the full text of the proposed bills.
