Bikes shouldn’t be priority

Wed., July 27, 2011

We are cutting education. We are cutting and/or eliminating health care. We are cutting so many things that are vital to our well-being. For what? To build bicycle lanes? Come on, America.

Stop thinking with what you sit on and start using your head and some common sense. At this time in our current economy, there are much more important things than what we play with.

I am a bike rider.
