Cyclists

Hi everyone:

I just wanted to ask a favor of everyone. Please, let the adults in your life know about sharing the rode with cyclists. Due to florida law, a car must remain 3 ft away from a cyclist at all times. Please, respect us cyclists - we are moving vehicles, and we are alive, and can get hurt. I almost got hit by a semi on 301 a few weeks ago. In all likelyhood, if I had gotten hit, I would not have survived. So, please do me that favor.

Below is the link that lists all of the major laws pertaining to cyclists. Remember, a cyclist abides by all of the rules your car does, so we have every right to be on the rode!

one last bit of info - if a cyclist is hit by a vehicle and killed, it is not considered manslaughter like a vihicle hitting a pedestrian (from what I last heard).
