KOIN covers safe passing bill

BTA Director Evan Manvel reports that their Senate Bill 299 (PDF here) got some airtime on Portland’s CBS affiliate KOIN-TV yesterday.

I watched the video clip and they do a solid job covering the issue. I’d recommend watching it. They have some interesting on-the-street interviews, some words from Evan, and even some in-studio chit-chat.

There’s no real URL to the video (their website is woeful), so go to this page (which is just a search for the word “cyclists”) and click the video link to “Oregon Bike Riders Want More Room”.

I think it’s interesting to keep tabs on how the network news covers these issues, especially because they reach the largest audience of motorists.
