“ China tea has virtues which are not to be despised nowadays — it is economical, and one can drink it without milk — but there is not much stimulation in it. One does not feel wiser, braver or more optimistic after drinking it.

Dear Senator Kehoe,

Please vote YES on SB 1464.

As a bicycle commuter, I can honestly say that with each passing year, I am more intimidated by the demonstrated entitlement of cars on San Diego’s roads. I am more devastated by the preventable deaths of cyclists on our roads, and I am less likely to make the choice that is better for my body and for the planet, because it’s scary out there.

Please help make it less scary and pass this bill.

Thank you.

If you live in San Diego, please consider sending a similar message in support of a 3-foot passing allowance.
