Passing 3 feet meters law when a car passing a bike on the road will be much appreciated since just like motorized vehicles we too have a share in paying taxes and it happened that we like putting fun between our legs.
I hope that our senators and lawmakers take a look at this as it will not only help us live a healthy living we can also help our Mother Nature by lessening the carbon footprint that we do everyday. Imagine if all of us commute to work using a bike, less cars and more bikes would be fun. If they will push for a campaign such as this “3 <——> Feet Please, It’s the LAW” I will definitely support it and be the one to spread it to the country through this blog.
For now, this is all I can do, post a blog about this and share some inspiring stories which I am sharing a video shot in United States of America of officers or police sharing their share of helping cyclists safety as their priority. It is very inspiring and I really really hope they will also adopt this in the Philippines.

Founded in Tallahassee, Florida by cyclist Joe Mizereck who decided to act after experiencing one day too many of close calls while riding his bike. The campaign’s strategy is to placed a bold yet polite message on a cycling jersey to be worn by cyclists as they ride…delivering the message “3 Feet Please” to motorists as they pass. The goal is to place this message on the backs of 1,000,000 cyclists aorund the world over the next five years.
