Everyday Bicycling: How to Ride a Bike for Transportation (Whatever Your Lifestyle) by Elly Blue.
A couple of Fridays ago, a loose confederation of cyclists worked to game Google’s social media site and get the hashtag ‘#purple’ trending.
Today, we’re using our mad skills for a better purpose: we want to encourage cycling for transportation by promiting our secret handshake: the hashtag #bikecommutercabal. Here’s how you can help.
Update: I heard from the California Bicycle Coalition that the deadline is September 30.
California SB 1464, which mandates a minimum 3 foot passing distance around cyclists, passed the state Assembly and Senate and was presented to the Governor’s office for his signature on September 6, 2012.
Governor Brown has 12 days to either sign or veto the legislation. I haven’t seen SB 1464 mentioned in his daily legislative updates, and 12 days have passed, so… that means 1464 is now law, right?
Does anybody know for sure?

My friend Ladyfleur looked at the new bike plan prepared by Alta Planning for the city of Los Altos, California and found something really alarming on Page 66 of the bike plan.
The California Assembly approved the 3 foot bicycle passing bill by a vote of 50 – 16 after a spirited debate.
