I like the idea of a bicycles only oceanside pathway system. Maybe it could be funded out of the chinese tariff windfall Washington is raking in.
So why an extra environmental levy on steel? Probably the most environmentally friendly of the group? So waht are you going to do with a carbon frame after it breaks. Throw it on the trash pile? Steel can be repaired. If it can't be repaired then it can be metted down and recycled.
And stop tight there with you political nonsense and take your comments to P&R where they belong.
