Bob Mionske interviews Missouir attornery Vance Preman about what is going on with bicycle advocacy across Missouri | BikeLaw

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

In July 2014, a cyclist was attacked in a road rage incident in Sunset Hills, Missouri. The cyclist, Randy Murdick, alleged that after the driver had yelled “Get off my roads!” he swerved into the cyclist, knocking him off his bike. The cyclist was injured and his road bike was damaged in the incident, which went viral when it was further alleged that the road raging driver was Mark Furrer, then-Mayor of Sunset Hills.

But despite the shocking nature of the attack, the Mayor’s alleged road rage was clearly out of step with city governments across the state, which are increasingly passing strong measures to protect cyclists from harassment.

Recently, I caught up with attorney Vance Preman of Bike Law Missouri and Bike Law Kansas; we had the opportunity to chat about this incident, as well as other issues, and the state of cycling in Kansas and Missouri. Despite one bad incident making the national news, the good things happening in Kansas and Missouri bicycling are clearly the real news. Like anywhere else, there’s still plenty of work to be done, but if, like me, you want to know what’s really happening in Kansas and Missouri, read on, as Vance Preman gives us an insider’s perspective on the law, advocacy, and lots and lots of bike riding.
