"The legislative season is well underway, with state leaders drafting and voting on bills across the country. We've covered a number of proposals that could impact e-bikes, but the latest out of Florida feels a little different. Rather than taking a heavy-handed approach, it would essentially turn common courtesy into law by clarifying expectations when cyclists share multi-use paths with pedestrians."
"A broad coalition of politicians, businesses, and advocacy groups sent a letter to Congress ahead of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's September 30 expiration. The letter urges lawmakers to maintain and increase funding for cycling and pedestrian projects in the next federal transportation package. The signers include Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO), along with ranking members Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-WA)."
