  • The Florida Highway Patrol, with Lauren Cooper of Cyclemedia in Charlottesville, Virginia, released a letter to drivers reminding them of their responsibility to pass cyclists safely, and to refrain from passing when it can’t be done safely. In Massachusetts, the laws regarding cycling are even less restrictive than in Florida, since we have no “cyclists ride as close to the right as practicable” requirement in this state. You can read the letter at Highway Patrol.
