More Attention for Bikers' Right

Today the City Council will consider an ordinance that would protect bikers from harassment. From the Daily Breeze: "In his report to both the council's Public Safety and Transportation Committees, City Attorney Carmen Trutanich said bicyclists have complained that people spit at them; throw liquids and solid objects at them; verbally threaten them; drive too close and cut them off; and honk horns to scare them." But as Trutanich points out, too, "state laws already exist to protect bicyclists from such actions.." [Daily Breeze]
