hmm.....cross country/interstate bike trails?
let's say they build it.....

who's gonna maintain it when they can't afford to fix
potholes in the roadways?

who's gonna fix the cracks and the root damage?

who's gonna move the parked cars, the food vending
stalls, the pickups on blocks outside the transmission shop?

who's gonna clean the glass and debris that gets
brushed off the main highway onto the bike path?

and what about the nice coppers that decide to enforce
the (local?) laws requiring bikes to stay on bike paths?

or the mercedes drivers that try to run you off the
roadway, cause bikes don't belong?
