My proposal? How about those of us engaged in parallel (but not identical) efforts work cooperatively rather than antagonizing each other?
I found the comments you posted last week regarding the Chequamegon-Nicolet Forest Plan (parts A-1 and A-2 in particular) to be quite insightful and powerful arguments for promoting non-motorized transportation and recreation.
I just can't help wondering what purpose is served by giving out "We Don't Care About Any Organization or People But Ourselves" awards and making sniping comments about the efforts of a small non-profit (the Wisconsin Bicycle Federation)? Could we save the invectives for those who make, promote or sell devices that produce greenhouse gasses?
Just a thought.

PS: I wonder where you got the two percent number in the first place? Did you make it up? Guess? Also, what percentage of Madison commuters are currently paid by the government not to drive motor vehicles?
