"Safe Passing" Law passes NYS Legislature

A bill that mandates cars to pass a bicyclist at a "safe distance" passed the Legislature yesterday:

Thanks to Richard, Harvey, and all the other NYS cyclist advocates that worked hard to get this bill passed! Hopefully the governor will sign, but it appeared to pass both houses with more than 2/3 vote, so an override shouldn't be difficult, if it comes to that.

-Bill Collins
