Major victory for cyclists!
This is also a major victory in that it finally recognizes that such things exist. It shuts the mouths of all the bubble-gum naives living in lalaland and to the hypocrites who know how things are in reality but pretend everything is fine.

The next step is for everyone to start lobbying in their own municipalities for a similar law. Folks in Washington are already on the warpath:

To all mental motorists out there:


Yeah, bring it on bitches!
