The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia showed up in City Hall to express their displeasure with the proposed laws.
"We are opposed to all of this legislation that is being introduced," said Sarah Clark Stuart, campaign director for the Coalition. "The reasons there are problems in the street is that there hasn't been any enforcement. New laws are not going to help the situation."
