NH Rep says it's "very tempting to run bicycles off the road" while arguing against a Bill to set lower speed limits
"During the New Hampshire House of Representatives session on April 23, 2026, the chair of the House Transportation Committee said on the House floor, “It is against the law to run over pedestrians. It’s against the law to run bicycles off the road even though it’s sometimes very tempting.”
He was arguing against SB559, a bill that would have allowed municipalities to set lower speed limits where a traffic or engineering study supported them."
