Cyclists in Suits, our state bicycle day at the Capitol, took place this past Monday, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. On Monday, attendees from all over Texas walked the halls, passed out bicycle pins, and visited every office to explain the several bills positive to cycling working their way through right now. This helped multiply the impact of the calls and emails regarding the Hughes amendment. Senator Rodney Ellis, who offered a resolution recognizing BikeTexas during Cyclists in Suits, was pleased with the turnout. “From the Senate Floor, we were very impressed by the large turnout of cyclists,” he said, “You all filled a big section of the gallery.” See the video of Senator Ellis reading the resolution here, beginning at 24:05. “Texas cyclists appreciate the leadership of Senator Ellis on bicycling issues,” said BikeTexas Executive Director Robin Stallings. “We are grateful for the resolution offered on the Senate floor.” You can see the Cyclists in Suits agenda for more info. |
