Madison Passes Dooring Ordinance

Congratulations to Robbie Webber of BikeWalk Madison for ushering through an ordinance in Madison that requires checking for traffic before opening ones car door. The Madison City Council passed the “Dooring Ordinance” by a 19-1 vote. The Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin is currently working on getting a similar state law passed, as well as eliminating a Wisconsin requirement that bicyclists ride 3 feet from parked cars, as no other vehicle operator has this requirement.
