  1. Is there maybe, oh, possibly, just saying, a chance that more people lack transportation now because of the shitty economy and that many built-up areas increasingly don’t have comprehensive sidewalks? Just a thought.

    What about all the kids she got to plant gardens who are getting tetnus from digging in tbe soil? You don’t get Tetanus when you get your food the natural way – from McD’s.
    Seriously though, what about (as hinted above) the fact that we have built neighborhoods without the infrastructure for walking?

    Here in my small rural town, they recently announced that they were taking a 4 lane road (with little traffic) and converting it to a 2 lane with bike lanes on the side and a turning lane in the middle. Almost instantly the TV opinion blog /discussion list was a-buzz with folks talking about how they are coddling cyclists and that cyclists were a bunch of law-breakers because they rode with traffic.
