- Look sport, when you're out there pedaling your little heart out on your
- child's toy you are mostly in the way. Not only are you in the way,
- you pay not one dime in support of the roadways you claim a right to
- use and you have no obligation to be financially responsible for any
- damage or mischief you and your toy might cause. But it's the part
- about being in the way that you don't seem to understand. No matter
- how fast you little legs can pump, unless you've got gravity working
- for you, relative to an automobile moving along at any sort of
- speed at all, you're standing still. It's kinda like coming around
- a corner and finding a sawhorse sitting in the middle of the road.
-
- I don't want to harm you but I want you to share my anxiety. I want you
- to think your going to die. If you want to finance and construct your
- own bicycle road system or even add realistic bike lanes to the existing
- road system, that's great. But you have to pay for it yourselves.
- Until that time I want you to hang your toy on the garage wall.
