I follow league of american bicyclists on Facebook. I noticed that this showed up on my feed. I just wanted to make others aware of this going on. Thanks!

Thanks! I had also gotten the link, and I sent a message to my representative. And passed it around to all the groups I know.

Done as soon as I got the notice.

One point I put in my letter to my rep, which wasn't in LAB's sample copy, was how many older people I know who are literally prisoners in their own homes because their driving ability is limited or nil, and it's not safe to leave their driveways without a car. :( This could happen to any of us, and hopefully the legislators will think about their own parents.

Thanks. Had not seen it before. Sent email to my rep and reposted a link to facebook. I also included in my letter that being in/near beach communities it is critical to maintain biking lanes and paths as many tourists rent bikes while on vacation. This is very typical along the entire NC coast with several bike stores that main purpose is to rent beach cruiser type bikes.
