I'm writing to express my opposition to Senate Bill 238, which I believe is an unwarranted infringement upon the rights of cyclists in Texas. Bicyclists have the same rights as motorists on our roads and highways, and forcing us to ride single file will have the unwanted effect of making us less visible and more vulnerable to inattentive drivers.
Cars can spot three or more riders, yet single cyclists can be difficult to see.
If enacted, this bill will force thousands of cyclists off the road. Informal group training and fitness rides would have to be canceled statewide, senselessly robbing us of our avocation. Perhaps the state should consider improving the shoulders of these roads instead of pointing the finger at cyclists. If the supporters of this bill are truly concerned with our safety, they should also address the problem of cars parking in designated bicycle lanes. Cyclists have as much of a right to our roads as motorists, yet we are the ones subjected to arbitrary and prejudicial regulations such as those found in S.B. 238.
