Help stop st. charles county bike ban

[Bike Chick]

It is my understanding from co-workers that these roads are very narrow, curvy, has high speed limits and aren't safe for cyclists. I appreciate the fact that they are trying to save lives but banning cyclists and not tractors, walkers, etc. is not the answer. It's a step backwards for us. Lower the speed limit and enforce it. Most of us wouldn't ride that road anyway.

I also live in the area. Although I haven't ridden my bike on these sections of road, I worry that we are on the edge in Missouri. St. Charles has tried to be more bike friendly (putting but bike friendly signs) but not taking actual steps (adding bike lanes). This law could be a dangerous precedent. This stretch has long been popular with cyclists, thus the proposed ban by frustrated motorists. The simple solution is to add a shoulder.

I pay taxes and that means I also have a right to the road.
