If you haven’t heard there was a new law passed related to cyclists and vehicles. It states: 

Motorists must give at least 3 feet of space when passing bicyclists or electric bicycles in Nevada.
 
The 3 Foot Passing Bill, SB248, was signed into law in Nevada on October 1.  This bill requires a driver of a motor vehicle to overtake and pass a bicycle or an electric bicycle proceeding in the same direction by: (1) moving the vehicle into the immediate left lane, if there is more than one lane traveling in the same direction and it is safe to move into the lane; or (2) passing to the left of the bicycle or electric bicycle at a distance of not less than 3 feet from the bicycle or electric bicycle.
 
We have many people who cycle here in the valley and the intent of this new law is to make it safer for everyone trying to get around. Hopefully it will also encourage more people to get out and ride their bike!

To help you get your feet wet with cycling, the RTC is providing classes about bike maintenance and safety. Learn how to change a flat, the laws of the road, wheel and brake maintenance and much more.

Another great benefit from the RTC is Bike valet at the First Friday event. If you have ever been to First Friday then you know that it is a busy event and parking can sometimes be a pain. Thanks to the RTC, you can ride your bike to the Bonneville Transit Center and valet your bike in their indoor bike facility.    http://youtu.be/KaOS1-jZ1AU
