Nasty Bike Law Proposal

Every now and again, the car people find the ear of someone in government, usually in the roads department or police department, and come up with some really nasty anti-bicycle law proposal for the government, hoping to sneak it through. But it is pretty ironic that the latest effort by these seedy types would be made in Japan, such a bicycle nation, in a time when most governments around the world are trying to PROMOTE cycling as much as possible, as a solution to our oil dependence, environmental problems and obesity and health issues. You would think that the police at least would know better - as they are the ones who have to deal with the aftermath of so many car accidents.
