What? – NO more stoppie, YEAH!!!

PORTLAND, Ore. – It could soon be completely legal for cyclists to run stop signs and stoplights here in Oregon.

A bike bill that will appear in the legislature on Wednesday would make a so-called ‘Idaho stop’ legal. The nickname comes from the first state that made it legal for cyclists to go through a stop sign without stopping.

Basically, if the way is clear, a cyclist would be allowed to slowly and safely run a red light or a stop sign. Blatantly unsafe decisions would still be illegal and a cyclist could still be fined.

I would also like to personally thank Jeff Jaeger of KATU News for including the link to the text of the bill. Jeff is ‘da man in Oregon(maybe just Portland, or maybe just katu.com)

WE just need this bill here in NE, and also to make it legal to ride on the sidewalk, OR put in bike lanes.

Texas lawmakers begin tanning bill fight


AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A proposal that would make it harder for Texas teenagers to enter the tanning bed was compared to legislation against Big Tobacco as lawmakers took up the issue.

"In the United states and Texas, we don’t allow our teens to purchase cigarettes until after they are 18 because it is a carcinogen," said Rep. Burt Solomons, R-Carrollton. "Yet we don’t do that for tanning beds, which can expose teens to the same risk for cancer."

I am so glad that this was introduced, tanning is so over-rated.
