Campaign to ban bikes from rural roads in Iowas continues
Tensions flare as a new petition calls on state lawmakers to ban bicycling on certain roads. The Citizens for Safety Coalition of Iowa started circulating the petition about a month ago. Their 525 or so supporters want legislators to support a ballot initiative banning bikes from 30 thousand miles of state and county roads in Iowa. Those supporting this new petition are concerned about the safety of bicyclists using county roads.
