Been trying to find some "3 feet please" decals? Here's your chance to order a supply and be part of the campaign to raise motorists' awareness about this law.
Beginning in 2010,
"3 feet please--it's the law" decals began appearing on vehicles
throughout SWFL, thanks to an effort spearheaded by Bert Hamilton (past BPAC
chair and BWL founding member). The campaign was launched to raise motorists'
awareness of the Florida law requiring drivers to give at least 3 feet of
clearance when passing a bicyclist on a roadway. As a result of that
campaign, you see LeeTran buses, Lee County Sheriff's patrol cars, and county
vehicles, as well as the vehicles of many cyclists and other citizens, sporting
these decals. See BWL's 2013 column about the
initiative.
The Injury
Prevention Coalition, as well as Dan Moser and others, used to distribute these
decals at events around the county. Then about 2 years ago, the supply of
decals dried up and when we tried to order more, we found out that the vendor
was no longer in business and there was no one else selling them.
In November, the
Sanibel Bicycle Club asked BikeWalkLee how they could obtain some for
distribution during their February month-long bike safety campaign. When
SBC's VP Patti Sousa learned that there was no vendor, she recruited a vendor
to recreate and sell the decals and bumper stickers. SBC coordinated
an order that will mean SBC and a couple of Sanibel bike shops as well as
BikeWalkLee, will soon have a supply.
The good news is that
anybody can now order the decals directly. This is a custom design order so you can't place the order
directly through the website. To order, you should send an email directly to
Chris Cunningham at Chris@tiktokink.com or support@tiktokink.com with the information
about what you want to order (decals and/or bumper stickers and the quantities),
the shipping address and your contact information so he can get in touch with
you about payment and shipping.

awareness of the "3 foot" law by buying some decals for distribution
in your city, your business, your organization. We hope to soon see
many more vehicles in the county sporting these messages. Thank you,
Sanibel Bicycle Club!
