SB910: supporters and opponents

Image
The Senate has posted an analysis of SB910, the bill which would impose a 3 foot minimum passing distance for motor vehicles passing cyclists. There is now on AroundTheCapitol an analysis, dated Thursday 28 April. First, I'll jump to the end: SUPPORT : Office of the Mayor, City of Los Angeles (co-sponsor) California Bicycle Coalition (co-sponsor) Amgen Cycling Club Channel Islands Bicycle Club Humboldt Bay Bicycle Commuters Association Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates Santa Cruz County Cycling Club Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition 47 individuals OPPOSED : AAA Northern California Automobile Club of Southern California Just in case any cyclists out there are members of AAA, please quit now. Try Better World , for example. AAA members are supporting the AAA's car-centric legislative agenda, opposing every attempt to improve the rights of cyclists on the roads. It is incomprehensible to me that any member of any bike coalition would be also a member of AAA.
