Give Cyclists of Space

Why “Give 3 Feet”?

Too often cars and bicycles come precariously close to each other and bicyclists need at least three feet between them and a passing car to be safe. Three feet is the minimum distance that motorists should allow; even more space is truly appreciated by cyclists commuting or recreating on our cities’ streets.

So, please do whatever it takes to remember the simple message to “Give Cyclists 3 Feet”, whether it’s a Sharpie to the forehead, a tattoo on your knuckles, Give 3 Feet Buddhist chants for your 8-Track player, or “3 Feet” painted on your finger nails…thank you for doing whatever it takes to make the road a safer place for everyone.

Starting in May 2007, Cascade Bicycle Club is embarking on a public education campaign to spread the message of giving cyclists three feet of space. You'll see the safety campaign around Seattle and King County on billboards, buses, bumper stickers and posters.
