Give Cyclists of Space
Why “Give 3 Feet”?
Too often cars and bicycles come precariously close to each other and bicyclists need at least three feet between them and a passing car to be safe. Three feet is the minimum distance that motorists should allow; even more space is truly appreciated by cyclists commuting or recreating on our cities’ streets.
So, please do whatever it takes to remember the simple message to “Give Cyclists 3 Feet”, whether it’s a Sharpie to the forehead, a tattoo on your knuckles, Give 3 Feet Buddhist chants for your 8-Track player, or “3 Feet” painted on your finger nails…thank you for doing whatever it takes to make the road a safer place for everyone.
Sorry, I'm guessing this was why you gave the 3' comment. The smile was quite broad, my friend.
