Default should aero-bars be banned.

aerobars be banned from public roads?


I ride aerobars all the time and never have had a problem seeing stop signs.

Even if the error was hers, it only resulted in her own death, hardly a
hazard to others, I'm generally opposed to expansion of the nanny state.
