INCLUDED in a raft of new laws passed by the General Assembly that go into effect this Thursday are two intended to increase bicycle safety in the commonwealth. The Virginia Bicycling Federation endorsed them, and weâll take their word for it that similar laws in other states have reduced cycling fatalities.
Hopefully, theyâll do the same in Virginia. But there are some lingering concerns.
One of the new laws, the 2021 Bicyclist Safety Act, requires drivers to change lanes to pass a cyclist if the lane theyâre in does not allow them to maintain a three-foot distance from the cyclist, even if that means crossing double yellow center lines.
New bicycle laws take effect in Virginia on July 1st
Sharing the road could be the difference between life and death

LYNCHBURG, Va. – Two new laws are adding an extra layer of safety for cyclists across the Commonwealth.
“I had a good friend … who was killed about 10 years ago here on the road; so it’s become very important for us,” said Brad Malcolm, a Lynchburg cyclist.
“Some people don’t have the leisure of having a vehicle. Some people only have a bike,” said John Seinar, owner of Bikes Unlimited in Downtown Lynchburg.
Beginning July 1st, drivers are required to changes lanes when passing cyclists unless the lane is exceptionally wide.
