Like the state of Georgia, the answer in most states appears to be yes AND no. In a few states there are laws against blowing your grass clippings onto the roadway, but most states let the cities and county determine and fines. You could, however, open yourself up to possible litigation if your actions are proven too have caused a cyclist cause injury or death.
