This is discrimination against bicyclists, plain and simple. Any group of cyclists that takes its chances and rolls through the county without the insurance can be fined $750. Says the Iowa Bicycle Coalition: "The ordinance will end bicycle rides by scouting groups, church groups, and even ...

Last week I learned of Brady Clark and Mykle Hansen’s invention, the Speed-Vest. The idea is that the cyclist’s speed is displayed on their back, which in turn shows motorists that bicycles aren’t slowing down traffic all that much.
