Bikers Galore

The American “Bike Lobby” is run like the organized crime syndicate organized by Pussy Galore in Ian Fleming’s Goldfinger.

I’m not anti-bicyclist, but I am against the bike lobby that imposes bike lanes on the rest of us.

My city government was beguiled–fooled is a better word–by this political lobby and some routes I take in my car have been reduced by half in order to create “bike lanes.”

In the course of a week I’ll be lucky if I see one bicyclist and maybe two vagrants using a bike lane, usually cycling towards me from the wrong direction.

I think anyone could win a seat on City Council on a “No Bike Lane” platform, but until we rid ourselves of these Progressive “purer than thou” cyclists, here’s what we need to do.

License all bikes using bike lanes!

No license tag, no entry on a bike lane.

Charge $5.00 a month or $60 a year for a bike license.

That will clean out the nuisance cyclists and clear those bike lanes for use by true bicyclists.
