Instead of ranting against one party or the other, remember that there is enough political stupidity to go around from both partys. Remember the stupid ban on bikes in Black Hawk Colo. It got over turned. The problem with the fools that come up with bike bans is the fact it takes time and money to over turn them thru the courts.
I am continualy amazed at the ignorance of these political hacks that seem to know nothing about how their wonderful proposed law has been shot down in other cities and state. The plain fact is that bicycles are a legal vehicle on streets and roads. This includes even interstate hiways in some areas where there is no other hiways to use.
