Unfortunately, we weren't kidding--the bicycle ban is back. No bicycles

Hi Fred;

I am not a MO resident, but Diane and I have enjoyed riding our tandem in MO. If this passed, it would be very bad for MO. I have posted the information on my FB page:

and sent e-mails to The MO Division of Tourism (tourism@ded.mo.gov) and Bart.Korman@house.mo.gov
