The elderly for the most part have no rush and enjoy different transportation schemes from hospitals and Medicare. And they have no dates anymore, so let them enjoy life slowly and pass something good to future generations. Actually it could be argued that their voting is very harmful.

unneccessarily as defined by you. When I go fishing I take the pu. It
suits the need where a bicycle won't. When I go to town I may take it or
the car because a bicycle won't. We don't enjoy the millions neccessary
to own a vehicle for every purpose. A bicycle is fine for riding with
the kids or up the block or around the area for a while. Otherwise it is
totally useless. At my age I'm not going to ride it in 100 degree heat
even to the local store. I'm nt going to ride it in the rin nor snow. If
it doesn't fit you definition I'm fine with that.
You don't know what you are talking about. You are just like the bunch
in DC that want to herd everyone to their designs flawed as they are.
You don't know which end is up. You don't have the answers nor clue.
You just have this inner city coffee shop liberal notion.

Unnecessarily is defined a radius around your home that you can do easily on a bike. For some it may be 1-2 miles, for others 5 and some others are looking to expand their horizon to 10 miles --like me. The goal may be to go to the market or to go to park.

What we need now is BIKE FACILITIES and some common sense from the seniors. The elders were the WISE MEN under Indian traditions. Since when they became Conservatives?
