Some Montana legislators are wanting to make wrong-way riding mandatory.

https://www.cyclingwest.com/news/montana-proposes-bill-to-force-cyclists-to-ride-the-wrong-way-in-traffic/

Data's quite clear that riding facing traffic is far more dangerous than 
riding the same direction as other traffic.

I hope - and predict - that this bill will never make it out of committee.
