Dump the pump - yet another fixed trial - and the village idiotfell for it.

Same challenge - same result. http://savannahga.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=806 Lets have a look at what really happened; "Savannah Bicycle Campaign member Jen Colestock pedaled across the City Hall finish line at 8:18 a.m., 22 minutes after departing the 12 Oaks Shopping Center south of DeRenne Avenue." We can safely assume it was during the rush hour and a short inner city journey. The Savannah Bicycle Campaign member obviously chose the route and time deliberately to fix the result. !She was followed 2 minutes later by Parrish Herron of the Savannah Mobility and Parking Services Department. Herron drove his fire engine red Dodge Charger RT. " Despite the rigged conditions the push bike only beat the car by two minutes, or 9%. However - see below. "Thirty seconds later, Chatham Area Transit Analyst Enoch Dumas crossed the line after riding comfortably in the Abercorn 14 bus to downtown." Despite the rigged conditions the push bike only beat the bus by two and a half minutes, or 11%. However - see below. "The competitors had to follow all traffic laws and take the most direct route available." Seems fair so far, but..... "The bus rider got off at the nearest bus stop to City Hall," And had to walk the rest of the way. We don't know how far that was. "while the car competitor drove down Abercorn and Drayton streets, then parked at the Whitaker Street Garage and walked the block to the City Hall finish line." So the drivers time included parking the car and walking a block to the finish. "The cyclist, meanwhile, could ride directly to the finish line, where a City bike rack is located." So it was clearly, just like all the other trials, heavily rigged in the cyclists favour. And Mason is so dim he didn't realise. How thick can you get? |

"The cyclist, meanwhile, could ride directly to the finish line, where a
City bike rack is located." I mentioned that advantage just a couple weeks ago here. At big box stores I cycle right up to the flag pole, tree, sign post or bike rack next to the entrance, lock the bike and I'm cycling home with my staple good, i.e., milk, flour, pasta, beer, chicken gizzards, wilted greens, moldy bread, etc., before a motorist can even make it across the huge parking lot. I'm working on getting them to allow cycling into the store and down the aisles to save even more time -- "zero stop shopping." One problem with cycling into some banks is the trap doors need to open faster. |

I have cycled to some shops and taken my bike inside - the ones that object, I refuse to patronise anymore and use friendlier ones instead. |

It's called voting with your feet - they allow disablity scooters, prams, pushchairs and baby buggies in. |

Any luck with persuading Amtrak to let you cycle on railroad platforms? |
