Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill this week that would have made it illegal to text while biking, because it apparently wasn't already illegal to do that.  From KQED:

It was a veto message that, if not for the famous signature at the bottom, sounded like the guiding principle of a conservative Republican governor.

“Not every human problem deserves a law,” it said.

And the law we didn't deserve?

“Section 21213.5 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:

(a) A person shall not ride a bicycle while using an electronic wireless communications device to write, send, or read a text-based communication.

(b) As used in this section, “write, send, or read a text-based
communication” means using an electronic wireless communications device to manually communicate with any person using a text-based communication, including, but not limited to, communications referred to as a text message, instant message, or electronic mail.
