The you don't represent ALL cyclists, many, if not most, of whom prefer many of those facilities that you are so against and 'have no interest' in your POLITICAL efforts to subvert their will. This is NOT the 'vehicular cycling advocacy & safety' forum. So, again, while vc technical aspects are welcome, I think the politcal aspects belong in P&R with the rest of the politics...it would sure make this forum more useful and productive...unless you have some vested interest in vc politics that you feel compelled to promote.
