At a recent Seattle Bike Advisory Board meeting, a representative from the SODO business was discussing the fact that the businesses are "ok" with the proposed bike routes as they are currently in existence and proposed. But they 'don't want to see bikes anywhere else.' This had the effect of creating a moment of stunned silence and thoughts as to why the heck not - we spend money too! And the kicker was when he was discussing the fear that truckers have; they don't want to kill anyone, but they are really scared of their insurance rates increasing if an accident does happen.

Response from an SBAB member, "I think we know who has more at stake in an accident here."
