Andy Clarke, Executive Director of the League
of American Bicyclists, kicked things off as the 2010
keynote speaker.
Fresh from the recent National Bike Summit in Wash-
ington D.C., Andy talked about what it will take to make
cycling more prevalent in American society. He shared encouraging
examples of communities across the country that have made great
strides toward being bicycle-friendly.
He spoke of the sea change in federal policy on bicycling, citing
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood’s recent statement that,
“This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of
non-motorized.” (see page 12) Andy built on the Secretary’s remarks
with his own words of encouragement, stating, “There’s no better place
than Michigan to show by example that things are changing.”
Andy Clarke was certainly not the only draw at this year’s Summit.
Twelve diverse workshops filled the balance of the day.

Texting While Driving Ban Passes; LMB Celebrates Victory!
New law will crack down on distracted drivers, save lives Michigan Texting Ban Signed
On April 28th, The Michigan House pashed a the package of bills to
protect motorists and pedestrians by banning texting while driving on Into Law Live on Oprah Show
all Michigan roadways. The League of Michigan Bicyclists lobbied for
the ban, which could save countless lives, including those of bicyclists
and other vulnerable roadway users. The ban will take effect July 1.
LMB submitted testimony in favor of banning texting while driv-
ing and organized bicyclists from across the state to support the effort
during their annual statewide Bicycle Advocacy Day last May. “This
is a monumental step toward protecting bicyclists and other roadway
users,” said John Lindenmayer, LMB Associate Director, “A 200-pound
bicyclist is no match for a 5,000-pound vehicle being driven by a dis-
tracted driver. Driving is a privilege, not a right, and there is absolutely
no excuse for texting while driving.”
Under the new law, drivers will be prohibited from reading, manu-
ally typing or sending text messages while driving, except to report
accidents, crimes, emergencies or similar situations in which a person
feels his or her safety is in danger. The law makes texting while driving
a ‘primary’ offense, which allows police to pull over and ticket drivers
solely for texting. Drivers will receive $100 fine for a first offense and
$200 fine for subsequent violations. However, no points will be added
to their driving records.
