Safe passing law debate begins
[A road in North Plains.]
Yesterday, the BTA’s Senate Bill 299 — which includes a provision about requiring a minimum three-foot passing distance — got its first debate on the floor of the Judiciary Committee in Salem.
A reporter from the Associated Press was there and filed a report that was picked up by the Oregonian.
The story includes many sides of the debate, starting off with comments of Jim Bombardier, a 58 year-old who was nailed by an SUV and is still in rehab six months later. He said:

Yesterday, Portland’s royal couple of cyclocross, Rhonda Mazza and Erik Tonkin raced in Belgium at the Cyclocross World Championships.
According to reports, Rhonda came in 11th and Erik battled to a very respectable 43rd place against the best cross racers in the world.
Photos of the duo battling the brutal course appeared this morning on mega-popular bike racing site, CyclingNews.com. Here’s Erik battling the sand, and one of Rhonda looking very focused.
Also making their presence known, was a group of supporters representing our very own Cross Crusade Series, who made the trip to cheer on the Americans.

For the second time in a row, Oregonian columnist Renee Mitchell has devoted her column (which appears on the front page of the Metro section) to the power of the pedal.
Last Wednesday she wrote about how the community came together to recover Erin Greeson’s $2,000 stolen bike. Now, in this morning’s edition she again writes about the powerful potential of the bike community.
Today, in her column titled Putting pedal power to work on attitudes, she details the recent dialogue we’ve been having on this site about neighborhood safety and how bikes can be a part of community building in Portland neighborhoods.
