State Representative David Osborne (R) wants to outlaw carting kids by bike. I can't think of anything more out of step with public health and safety.
Protection? Really?
Rep. Osborne's HB255 would "...prohibit the operation of a bicycle on a state-maintained highway while transporting a person under the age of 18 years in an attached trailer or other apparatus."
If this bill is an attempt to protect kids, I'm afraid the 59th District legislator hasn't paid attention to what's really killing our children – obesity and diabetes.
Instead of restricting the freedom of bicycling families, maybe Rep. Osborne could sponsor some legislation that would funnel some overdue transportation funding for more suitable bike routes and sidewalk repair.
What do you think about this?
