Nine bicyclists have died in Iowa this year, which is a record. Department of Public Safety Commissioner Roxanne Ryan has put together a group that is working on the issue.


Ryan says you don’t have to be on a bike to be in danger from distracted drivers.


Ryan says her department put out a brochure this spring trying to make motorists more aware of bicyclists.
