I do not support the regulation of Commercial Cycling Tours on the Island of Hawaii and this bill impacts me as a recreational cyclist.The current draft of Bill 125 appeals to local neighbors and vehicular users of some roadways on the Island who may be inconvenienced. But there are many ways to achieve safe cycling and driving conditions that are much more likely to promote equitable use of our roadways than simply closing them down to cyclists, and these should be recognized by any legislation. I ask that Council Members vote NO on Bill 125. I think drivers in the state of Hawaii need better education on how to share the road with cyclists safely and our state should promote more ecologically friendly modes of transportation, not prohibit their use.
