Do you understand why we need to change bicycle laws now? In May, a bicyclist was struck from behind in Intervale, in Gilmanton on Route 106 and in Tamworth on Route 41, name a few. I chose these local examples because many would be familiar with the terrain: smooth, wide, straight. Plenty of visibility.
My question would be "Did you see your comment published here?" Mine was not hence my letter. It seems if you disagree with the bicycle lobby your opinion does not get published.
I so agree with riding bikes facing the traffic....I'd like to see what could be coming at me and have a chance of getting out of the way. I never understood a law where a vehicle could sneak up in back of you and cause you to be seriously hurt or even killed.

It's just common sense. I said so in these comments weeks ago after the 80+ yr old man was killed in Intervale.
