Even more obtuse than the councilman's rage induced harrasment proposals.
Presumably your proposal would prohibit bicycle commuting to Center City; like the six years worth of commuting I used to do to City Hall.
Whatchu been smokin,' Dude?
You're right, my ideas would do nothing to improve cycling conditions in the city. They would, however, go a long way toward improving pedestrian safety. Which is the point. Most of the less self centered among us can see that clearly.
Believe it or not, the careless and arrogant behavior of messengers in center city isn't making cycling a good name. If city hall banned all cycling because of this group most people would say "Good riddance!" In my view anything that deals with the problem, reigns in the problem groups, and still preserves your right to commute anywhere in the city on a non registered bike is a win for cyclist.
