A place for folks to provide information as to what is going on in biking in WV. This information will be used to respond to the League of American Bicyclists survey due March 2009. This survey is used to rank states. The League of American Bicyclists announced their first annual ranking of Bicycle Friendly States, scoring all 50 states on more than 70 factors. WV came in last. We think it is a lack of information. Help us gather information. Thank you!

§17C-11-2. Traffic laws apply to persons riding bicycles.
Every person riding a bicycle upon a roadway shall be granted all of the rights and shall be subject to all of the duties applicable to the driver of a vehicle by this chapter, except as to special regulations in this article and except as to those provisions of this chapter which by their nature can have no application.
§17C-11A-3. Definitions.
As used in this article:
(a) "Bicycle" means a human-powered vehicle with wheels designed to transport, by the action of pedaling, one or more persons seated on one or more saddle seats on its frame. Such term also includes a human-powered vehicle, and any attachment to such vehicle designed to transport by pedaling when the vehicle is used on a public roadway, public bicycle path or other public right-of-way, but does not include a tricycle.
But this definition was also found in code:

"Vehicle" means every device in, upon or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway, except devices moved by human power or used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks or wheelchairs.
