Thanks Nathank.

I'm not denying that there are subsidies, I'm just trying to get specifics -- it's very difficult to fight generalities. I want to be able to name specific subsidies the next time I get in a discussion with someone about bikes on the roadway.

I read and enjoyed Asphalt Nation a few months ago. I found that it challenged standard automobile thinking, but also painted a pretty bad picture of the old trolley and intra-city railroads also. Not in general, but whenever she talked about details she couldn't avoid talking about run-down trains and shoddy service.
