What's the big deal? when you get to the intersection with Hwy 51, you just call a taxi on your cell phone. Then you take your bike apart, put in the trunk, and let the taxi driver take you across the street. When you get to the other side, you take your bike out, put it back together, and pay the taxi driver.
Really, isn't that a much better solution than inconveniencing all those busy motorists? -darin At 8:40 AM -0600 3/15/03, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >For any of you who bike, walk, etc. across the stretch of Stoughton Road, >you might need to >know the speed has been raised from 45 mph to 55 mph. > >I see little concern here for the people who live along this corridor.
