That's actually not a bad article, despite being on that site. Oh, right, it's actually from the AP. And despite the misleading header here...shame on you, Looigi. One would think you were agitating and trying to spark controversy here in the placid fields of A&S, where we are, as usual, basking in good fellowship and mutual respect.

The supposed Chicago bike fee proposal was a single, new alderman speaking off the cuff and apparently out her, well never mind. It was never even proposed to the city council. As the article notes, her idea (?) "...sputtered out after the city responded with a collective "Say what?"
