This isn't "Liberals hard at work", it's "Controlling Idiots hard at work". The same kind of idiots who seek to control a woman's body, to control what transpires in the bedroom and control who can marry. |

Unless I'm completely mistaken, I'm pretty sure you can't take a top fuel dragster out to the corner store on public streets. Nobody finished with a hot day on the salt flats can drive their rocket car to Walmart and buy some tacky plastic crap. Currently, the man is totally oppressing me. I wanted to put 8 foot sharpened steel spikes to the front grill of my car. I totally need that modification for driving for ice cream. Those meany liberals are really bumming me out. Also, the wife said no. [0] Additionally New Jersey is not a particularly liberal state. They're not very conservative either in my experience. They're very status quo in general IME. If anything, you should be blaming the big department stores like Target, Walmart and other places that sell badly assembled BSOs with faulty quick releases and no real staff to make sure bike buyers know how to use the bikes. I'm sure there's some sob story that got lots of play on the local news about Timmy losing his front wheel when braking or something and doing a face plant as a result [1]. The hand wringing, moaning, gnashing of teeth and gratuitous use of the news to highlight someone's personal tragedy [2] are more likely the reason the bill exists than any 'liberal agenda'. I think the legislation is drivel personally, but I think your title is flamebait with little basis in fact. There's plenty of stupid legislation that comes from all ends of the political spectrum. [0] You see that! Did you see that! Did you see her opressing me?!? [1] Face plants, something I have recently become intimately acquainted with. More details later when I'm feeling up to it. [2] Let's face it, these sort of things suck, but they aren't news. -- Dane Buson - You cannot run Windows innocently. Guilt of aiding & abetting, at the very least, is automatic.

Do you have any idea how dumb all this sounds? You should probably write a better intro then. Don't go waving the "Government interference" and "evil liberal" flags if you don't actually post any content to back it up. I wouldn't have responded with anything like that if you had posted a reasonable summary like: "Wow, this sucks, legislators from New Jersey are looking at banning quickreleases on all bicycles. What a bunch of retarded poo flinging monkeys. Why would they do that?" Instead you started right up with some partisan flamebait in the title and first sentence. If all you really want to do is troll, then that's a fine strategy admittedly. If you want an honest discussion, you might wish to modify your approach. -- Dane Buson - "I don't see anything wrong with being arrogant and not at all helpful." -- Paul Tomblin |

I'm pretty sure that the NJ legislature, like most states' legislatures, doesn't actually contain enough real liberals to get even a symbolic resolution passed, let alone a bill. I mean, it is composed of a mix of Rs and Ds, right? But I'm going to assume that this item is really about the proposed NJ QR law and not about the political makeup of the legislature. So it looks to me like, if the bill is passed, the implications are that NJ road bikes and high end MTBs would have to be sold with bolted skewers, and you might then have to carry a 4mm or 5mm hex key to remove the wheels. Or you could then buy aftermarket QR skewers and put them in yourself, rather than asking the shop to sell you the bike that way. A savvy shop might just credit you for the bolted skewers if you returned them. Forgive me if I don't see this as a huge problem. A small nuisance for lycra dudes, maybe, and possibly a good thing for the mechanically inept, but not a huge problem. I'm now going to show you an example of what we Texans have to put up with from our conservative Republican legislators. You know, the ones who advocate freedom and personal responsibility. From http://bicycleaustin.info/newsletter/2001-02-09.html : -------------------------------------------------- Bill would ban bikes on Texas roadways Senator Jeff Wentworth (R-San Antonio) has filed SB238, which would, in Texas: 1. Prohibit cyclists from riding in groups of three or more on FM and RM roads in Texas with unimproved shoulders. (i.e., country roads with no extra paved space to the right of the traffic lane), 2. Prohibit cyclists from riding two or more abreast, on ANY road, and 3. Require cyclists to wear the "slow vehicle" triangle emblem, on ANY road. .... There's little use in writing to the bill's sponsor, Wentworth, unless he's your Senator. He's already received a ton of mail from cyclists across the state, and he's not budging. (He filed the bill at the request of the Texas Farm Bureau, who have apparently had enough of pesky cyclists on their rural roads.) .... Further, this bill seems to conflict with the Senator's philosophy, stated on his website: "In the Texas Senate, Wentworth's votes are based upon his philosophy of local control, less government interference and regulation, and personal responsibility." --------------------------------------------------- Call me crazy, but I'll take mandatory bolted skewers from busybody Yankees over getting kicked off the road by conservative redneck jackasses any day.
