New city rules shield cyclists
Columbia MO
...
An incident of cyclist harassment by a driver in February prompted Sixth Ward Councilwoman Barbara Hoppe to introduce an ordinance that would make harassment of bicyclists, including shouting threats and honking for the purpose of frightening a cyclist, a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by $1,000 fine or a year in jail.
After hearing testimony at last night’s meeting, the council passed the ordinance unanimously.
