Looks like Oregon lawmakers are on a roll this week. A couple days ago they amended their bike laws to take fixed-gear bikes into account with the whole brake vs. brake-less issue. This legislature was also followed up with plans for building two velodromes in the state, today they amended the proposal to add a third velodrome to the plans. Why don’t I live in Oregon, these guys are ruling!
From the article at bikeportland.org.
Today was another great day for cycling in Salem. On Tuesday we made solid progress in fixing an outdated law, and today the velodrome bill (S.B. 926) — which seeks $3.5 million of State Lottery funds to build velodromes — gained not just valuable political support, it also gained one more track.
He also added that this would be “a small investment” that would have “huge economic returns for the state of Oregon” and that “if we can build skateboard parks, we can certainly do this.”
