I am convinced bicycling is not safe
OK, I just found a Republican who rides a bike for practical purposes.

A March on Washington... on Bicycle?

... The ape and the hyena disagree in the perspective of the jungle. Of course, hyenas are predators without a creative mind. Probably the same difference as bicyclists and nonbicyclists.

I don't see his endorsement would be bad for cycling since most Republicans don't commute by bicycle anyway. It would certainly lead to more ridership among the young and minorities --his power base.

OK, he fell down himself, but I've felt intimidated enough to make me lose my balance. Republicans just ignore how bad our roads are since they mostly drive SUVs, and then try to make Iraq safe. Of course, the Democrats also ignore the issue if only they talk about some of the problems here... Originally Posted by Ebbtide "I'd venture to guess that cyclists break down about the same as the national party affiliation. Perhaps a little more left, but not much." Let's see Red is SUV town, hostile to bikes; Blue, friendly to public transportation and bicycles. But the Democratic Party Machine doesn't deliver the goods either. Are all the Democratic party officials driving SUVs? |

Not too anarchist though as we need the government to set up cameras to root out the bad drivers, but not to control speed. Actually I believe in an American autobahn, while having BIKE LANES at the same time. Is that a contradiction? Well, it happens in Germany. |
