KILL the BIKE-SHARE SENATE BILL

Given the increasing safety risk of eBikes to pedestrians and to riders themselves, Laguna Beach has NO bicycle infrastructure and no Bike Share provisions to make bike riding more safe.  

Meanwhile a bill from the California State Seante Insurance Committee has drafted an obscure bill with a devastating impact on bike and scooter share systems in California. Please tell your senator to vote NO on AB 371, the Kill Bike-Share Bill. Email link below. 

Bike sharing systems have already reduced car traffic by millions of miles and provided an essential last-mile link for public transit. The insurance requirement in AB 371 will end this valuable transportation option, put more cars on the road, and make our streets less safe. 

 The Kill Bike-Share Bill is bad for our communities and bad for California. Tell your senator to vote NO on AB 371 — it just takes a minute. https://www.calbike.org/take_action/save-bike-share/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=32e4dbb2-0da1-44f2-b124-141098fb58d4&sl_tc=Email
