Seems that in some cities, if you're a bike coordinator who doesn't
buy that, you get fired. That's what I hear, anyway.

Remember to thank the budget priorities of upper class tax cuts and
subsidies, when your favorite rural riding routes change from pavement
to road bike unfriendly aggregate surfacing.

Bicycle farcilities (sic) were originated as a way to confine cyclists
to an area inferior to the motor vehicles, which is hardly a left-wing
position.

Remember, bicycle lanes were built in the Netherlands by order of the
Nazi [1] occupation, to keep bicycles out of the way of motor traffic.

[1] And only revisionist liars consider the Nazi's left-wing.

The obligation to spend public funds on bicycle facilities -- no
matter how bad -- is a lefty invention. The right would do nothing.
The true small government states like Idaho have some dreadful roads.
I believe in spending money to make road surfaces rideable. I swear
that if I get killed on my bike, it is going to be while riding home
at night in the rain over crappy road surface. I don't need no
stink'n lanes. I need smooth asphalt. -- Jay Beattie.

They probably would have called themselves by some lefty sounding
moniker like "National Socialist Party" or some such.


All the elements that had some concern for the working classes were in
the SA, and were "purged" by the SS in the "Night of the Long Knives".

Furthermore, why would the rich German industrialists have funded the
Nazi party if it was actually socialist? The idea is too ridiculous to
be taken seriously by any but the ignorant.

I didn't get any part of the "facility" argument from that article. I
think you are projecting.

From this link, I got the impression he was pretty pro-facility, if
anything:

"Lefties"? How do you know that?

FWIW, those examples look fine to me, your objections aren't obvious.

Might have to raise taxes...

Wow. Awesome artworks. Too bad they are an assault against cyclists.
Your traffic engineers have access to better drugs than we do here,
apparently, and ours are baked.


Is that why the guy got canned?

I think it's more revisionist than that.

If this doesn't bother you, then just delete the message. If, on the
other hand, it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you
forward it to every
legal resident in the United States ..

Hey anonymous sniper, you forgot to mention all the taxes paid by illegal
immigrants, which compensates for the services, since they do not receive
many of the benefits that citizens do.


There is no equivalency here. Illegal immigrants take out of our economy
much more than they pay into it. That is why they come here in the first
place.

Furthermore, if you dislike illegal immigration, blame the BUSINESS
COMMUNITY, since if undocumented workers were not *illegally* offered jobs
by BUSINESS OWNERS, they would not come to the US. Duh.


Nope, I blame the Dems in Congress and Obama. They have had plenty of time
to do something about it. Hells Bells, Obama will not even defend our
borders!

Milton Freidman noted in 1960 that you can have open borders or a welfare
state but not both. We have yet to decide, to our greater loss. It's like
dancing with a foot on each of two canoes.


Excellent observation AMuzi!

My God, do I ever love to see an intelligent post on these ****ing
