The ink's barely dry on the Seattle Bike Master plan and it's already being pushed back. If you live in Seattle take a moment to have your say.

Even if you don't much like bike lanes, this is an important test of what little bike political power there is in Seattle.

I sent a nice e-mail to Mayor Nickels' office. I'll let you know if anyone gets back to me.

all you seattleites should check this out. if you can show up, please do. the goal is to show that seattle cyclists are pretty annoyed by this decision, and we'll be showing our annoyance by riding two by two following all traffic laws. the goal is to get enough people doing this to gum things up a little to show how many of us there are.
