A March on Washington... on Bicycle?

Originally Posted by Americo I once lived in a suburb that decided to put walk/bike paths along every street in the city.

There's only a new scenic trail that takes me close to some shops and I can take the back streets to the supermarket. But the main roads are no man's land, and I have been threatened and terrorized for using my right to be on the road. That would have been my contribution to fight greed, injustice, terrorism and global warming but my right to survive takes preference in the jungle. __________________ "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" -M.L.
