THE ISSUES

YOU'VE SEEN THEM.
WE'VE ALL SEEN THEM.

You have observed them. So has the Bureau. Cyclists proceeding in close formation along vehicular corridors, each apparently persuaded that the journey carries an environmental significance the Office of Corridor Capacity has been unable to substantiate.

The Bureau notes, without prejudice, a recurring sequence: a carbon-fiber bicycle valued at approximately $5,000 is loaded onto a sport-utility vehicle and conveyed an average of 40 minutes to a preferred route. The Records Division has logged this pattern 1,847 times and finds the accompanying environmental accounting inconclusive.

The phrase "share the road" appears frequently in the public comment record. In practice, the Bureau documents processions of up to 20 vehicles reduced to 12 miles per hour around blind curves, notwithstanding adjacent infrastructure constructed for that express purpose.

On the matter of safety, the Bureau observes that when a cyclist treats a stop sign as advisory, statutory liability nonetheless tends to settle upon the party holding a license plate and a policy of insurance. The Office considers this allocation worth entering into the record.

Claims to the moral high ground are noted and filed. The Bureau's position is narrower: that accountability apply uniformly, and that the resulting policy serve every user of the roadway.

TITLE 1 — ENUMERATED CONCERNS OF THE MOTORING PUBLIC

  1. § 1.01 — Road sharing "challenges"

    Some drivers find it frustrating when cyclists occupy vehicle lanes, especially on narrow roads where passing safely is difficult.

  2. § 1.02 — Traffic flow disruption

    Cyclists typically move slower than vehicular traffic, which can create congestion in areas without proper bike infrastructure.

  3. § 1.03 — Perceived rule-breaking

    There's a perception that some cyclists ignore traffic laws, like running stop signs or red lights, creating safety hazards.

  4. § 1.04 — Infrastructure costs

    Building dedicated cycling infrastructure requires public funding that some taxpayers may prefer allocated elsewhere.

  5. § 1.05 — Rural road limitations

    Many rural roads lack shoulders or bike lanes, creating potentially dangerous situations when cyclists and vehicles share these roads.

  6. § 1.06 — Licensing and regulation differences

    Unlike motorists, cyclists typically don't require licenses or registration, which some view as regulatory inconsistency.

  7. § 1.07 — Cultural tensions

    In some communities, tensions exist between drivers and cyclists about road use rights.

  8. § 1.08 — Seasonal challenges

    In areas with harsh winters or extreme weather, cycling infrastructure may go unused for significant portions of the year.

  9. § 1.09 — Parking conflicts

    Bike racks and storage can sometimes take up space in urban areas where parking is already limited.

  10. § 1.10 — Emergency vehicle considerations

    On narrow roads, groups of cyclists might make it challenging for emergency vehicles to pass quickly.

We're not just complaining—we're taking action! Founded in 2023 by drivers who've hadENOUGH, Americans Against Road Bikers stands up for the forgotten majority: the people who actually pay road taxes.

While cyclists occupy roadway capacity without contributing a measurable share to its funding, the Bureau advances transportation policy grounded in REALITY, not aspiration. We advocate for dedicated bike paths separate from main roads - because safety matters for everyone.

Yes, we believe in "sharing the road"—in a way that makes sense. That means cyclists should have their own infrastructure instead of pretending they're training for the Tour de France on your morning commute. Our common-sense approach demands accountability fromBOTH sides.

When planning communities, we need to recognize the reality: cars, bikes, and pedestrians deserve separate spaces to maximize safety and efficiency for everyone.

SEC. 2 — ACTIVE MATTERS BEFORE THE BUREAU

KEY BATTLEGROUNDS

The four horsemen of the cycling apocalypse we're fighting every day

MATTER 01 OF 04

IN RE: LANE OCCUPANCY · OFFICE OF CORRIDOR CAPACITY

The Bureau seeks the orderly relocation of bicycle traffic to dedicated corridors, pending completion of Environmental Impact Statement AAR-EIS-004 (Peloton Drag Coefficients).

MATTER 02 OF 04

IN RE: CONSPICUITY STANDARDS · OFFICE OF VISIBILITY COMPLIANCE

The Bureau petitions to codify mandatory reflectors, helmets, and rear-facing identification for road cyclists. Neon apparel is noted for the record but does not, on its own, satisfy the standard.

MATTER 03 OF 04

IN RE: SIGNAL COMPLIANCE · OFFICE OF UNIFORM ENFORCEMENT

The Bureau requests appropriations to affirm that red lights and stop signs apply uniformly to all road users, cyclists included. No exemption is on file.

MATTER 04 OF 04

IN RE: THROUGHPUT EQUITY · OFFICE OF MAJORITY THROUGHPUT

The Bureau weighs one cyclist's asserted right to the roadway against the documented right of fifty motorists to arrive on schedule. The record, to date, favors the majority.
