I/Charlie write to express my excitement about receiving the Bike Law Louisiana torch that Beaux Jones has recently passed to me. Beaux has done a superb job of advocating for Bike Law’s causes in the past. Accordingly, Bike Law Louisiana will be forever grateful for Beaux’s energetic involvement in the cycling community and passion for safer cycling.
