The following is an excerpt from the website “Bicycling Law” maintained by attorney, Bob Mionske.
“A week after Bradley Walck killed Ardie Lewis in Oklahoma, Illinois governor Pat Quinn signed Matt’s Law—named for cyclist Matt Wilhelm, who was killed in that state by a texting driver—which bans composing, sending and reading any “electronic message†while driving. In Utah, drivers who kill while texting face up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine; in Alaska, the sentence can be as much as 20 years.
Still, only a handful of states have banned texting. What’s most remarkable is that 20 states, including Oklahoma, have considered texting legislation, but have failed to act.”Â

I’ve changed the name of my blog from “Life ~ Loves ~ Pursuits” to “For the Love of Bikes”.
I love the name, can’t believe it wasn’t taken already. Lucky me.
I was able to get the Blogspot url for “love of bikes” and have copied over what I can. I’m playing around with a new format. Check it out and let me know what you think- : http://loveofbikes.blogspot.com/
*I’ve decided to use it here too, for the time being, I will stay with my susanlash.blogspot.com address.
Sorry for any confusion.
I’m also creating a Facebook page and Twitter page for “For the Love of Bikes” so I can post blog articles there instead of my personal FB page. Trying to keep personal stuff and work separate… Big Laugh!
Once again I found something cool on the Copenhagenize.com site.
Aren’t those cool?  I love them all, but especially the first one.
These posters are part of an exhibition of the London Design Festival.Â
“All around the world we’re in a race against time to get people onto bicycles. For the public health, for the common good, for rebuilding liveable cities.
Each and every day roughly 500,000 citizens choose the bicycle in Greater Copenhagen. This blog highlights who they are, why they do and how it was made possible.
Forty yars ago Copenhagen was jus as car-clogged as anywhere else but now 37% of commuters crossing the city boundary ride bicycles each day. That number rises to 55% in the city proper. Copenhagenizing is possible anywhere.” ~
