The sponsor is M Ferro, an avid bicyclist who believes that shoulder rumble strips represent a hazard to bicycling in NYS. Since there is little or no reliable objective data available on this, cyclists' opinions represent the best available input and the best-informed opinions, since they are grounded in the experience of cycling and hazard avoidance. He also hopes that signers will include comments if they have experience with rumble strips, to lend support to the foundation of their opinions. Thank you!
