If Pendleton was indeed closed because of rude behavior by some of the more militant lane takers and not as a general security measure it might be possible to negotiate a solution.

One approach would be for the base to offer passes to those who agree to abide by set terms and conditions, with (individual) loss of privilege if violated. The conditions could include set times that bikes are allowed or not, and "share the road" rules that are mutually agreeable. It might have been better if this were done before the base management got o angered, but there might still be hope. Unfortunately the self appointed "bicycle advocates" may not be the right people to do this, so a new voice, possibly coming from local clubs, or possibly an adjoining city council may be needed.
