Bicycle Bill Stopped, but Car vs. Bike Debate Remains

In early October, 2013, sponsors of a bill that would have imposed a license fee on bicycles decided not to go forward with the legislation.  They had heard loud protests from bicyclists during a public hearing in Gainesville.

Although the bill appears to be dead, the tension between drivers and bicyclists remains in some areas of the state.  That raises the question of how drivers, cyclists and civil authorities can make the roads safer for everyone.
