That is an argument that has been made by a lot of other groups as well, that bike paths etc are not appropriate uses of federal transportation $. I think what the earlier poster was getting at is that yes, bike paths are nice for recreational rides and are nice to have, but is transportation money the best funding, or should it be coming from the rec budget or somewhere else.
