I got an e-mail from the League of American Bicyclists the other day telling me about a benefit auction they are having soon. They got some pretty sweet schwag. They really spear headed the Clear Channel fiasco, so any money you spend on the auction goes to a good cause...
This is from the e-mail:

What a bunch of crap. The League didn't do squat in pursuing the matter with Clear Channel. Heck, they wouldn't even return our club's emails to them about the matter.

They are apparently too busy pursuing kiddie bike paths from nowhere, to nowhere for their bicycle industry masters. (Take a look at who is on the board and where they come from and you'll see what I mean).
