"Well, there's about probably some 10 percent to 20 percent of the current spending that is going to projects that really are not transportation, directly transportation-related. Some of that money is being spent on things, as I said earlier, like bike paths or trails."

No, she said bike paths aren't directly transportation-related, she didn't say anything about bikes themselves not being transportation.

But I think theres already a thread about this somewhere. (http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=334038)
