Dear Readers,
The past week has seen cycling in the news again: The Senate stripped the bicycle commuter tax benefit from the Energy bill, while reinstating the Hummer tax benefit, which the House had removed from the energy bill; meanwhile, in Portland, yet another cyclist was killed in a collision with a motor vehicle. Finally, the State of Iowa may be poised to limit the rights of cyclists. I will be exploring these and many other issues in upcoming columns in the new year.
