FAILED - Bicycle Passing: Would have required motorists to give bicyclists at least three feet of space when passing.

Texbiker.net covers the news, events and resources for those interested in Texas bicycling.
My bicycling passion was rekindled in 1979 with a Huffy bicycle from Woolco. From early rides around my neighborhood my enthusiasm grew to tackle my unsupported first century. From there I discovered organized rides all over Texas, races and mountain bikes. Many bikes and miles later the enthusiasm is still there.
Thanks to my wife, Hazel Marie, for her support over the many years, miles and rides.
In 1999 Texbiker.net was born to help my fellow bikers have ready access to all of the information about the Texas bicycling scene.

Disappointing, but I rather expected it. Although, I really don’t see why it was voted down. It’s not like the law would have cost anything (except to offenders.)
OTOH, it would have just been a band-aid, anyway. It seems to me car drivers are getting more and more aggressive toward cyclists. Folks are just too “busy” these days. Can’t waste that 1 to 2 seconds to change lanes to pass a cyclist. :-/
Thanks for finding and reporting the results so quickly. I probably wouldn’t have heard about it, otherwise.
