Georgia Bicyclists Repel Proposed Anti-Bike Bill

From the League of American Bicyclists Newsletter:

GEORGIA ADVOCATES BEAT BACK ANTI-BICYCLING BILL

Our friends in Georgia successfully stopped an anti-bicycling bill, HB 689, in the state legislature earlier this month. The law would have required tags and registration for bicycles, remove the right to ride two abreast in the road, place strange requirements on group rides and make some unrestricted public roadways "off limits" to bicyclists. Georgia Bikes, along with other advocates, lead the charge in getting the bill pulled from consideration. Read Georgia Bikes guest post here, and read about the victory here.
