Dear So and So

[donnambr]

Um, didn't your governor recently sign a bill into law that makes some majorly positive changes to MI traffic law as it pertains to bicycles, which includes language that forbids municipalities from enforcing such ordinances?

Of course, this is one of many reasons why I left metro Detroit 10 years ago... My parents stopped riding their bikes in SE Michigan altogether. They're retiring to the U.P., which is far more bike friendly, and that's where they ride. Sad.

Seriously, Salsa, It was likely passed due to a decent amount of lobbying by GM and the other detroit-based motor companies. Hooray for gas-sucking America!

Dear brain,

Dairy, granola, and 3-bean chili all in one day? What were you thinking?!

Not sure. I found an article from July about that. It mentioned a bill, but it did not say if it passed. I am really unfamiliar with government, so I have no clue how long it takes for something to pass and afterward, how long to take effect. I'm contacting our league of michigan cyclists to find out the status on the bill. Let's hope it passed so we don't have to deal with these crazy ordinances anymore!

Salsa, while you're doing your research, send that letter to your local paper right away, and I wouldn't even delete #3. Maybe your paper has a guest-column feature on their op/ed page, and this letter would be perfect for that. It may alert other citizens to the injustice you're concerned about.

To whom it may concern:
thanks for holding back on the hurricanes so that my DH is now on his way home from the gulf coast instead of having to live there this month.

and thanks for the gorgeous weather we've been having here in the northwest.
Is it too much to ask for just ONE MORE day? just asking.
