[Bikies] Bill Hauda

[Scott Rose]

One of my enduring memories of Bill Hauda was busting my butt to put an 
issue of the Wisconsin Bicyclist together, along with a number of other 
volunteers, while then executive director Bill Hauda sat at his desk 
with his feet up, reading the newspaper for hours on end. Was this 1994 
or 1995? He lifted not one finger to contribute. It was positively 
bizarre, particularly when contrasted with the super-human effort that 
predecessor Marcia Miquelon put into her "half-time" position, and that 
successor Jeanne Hoffman put into hers. I'm not sure what Hauda's agenda 
might be in running for the board, but somehow I doubt that his 
interests coincide substantially with those of the BFW membership.

As for Mark Shahan, he's been deeply involved in bicycle transportation 
advocacy since 1993 or earlier. He was a founding member of the Bicycle 
Transportation Alliance and was the action coordinator thereof for 
several years. I can't remember a single meeting that he missed. He also 
served on the bike-ped subcommittee of the Madison transportation 
commission for several years, and has been a bicycle commuter for many 
years. I seem to recall that Hauda drove a jeep to the BFW office on 
those occasions when he graced the office with his presence, but I could 
be wrong-- it might have been a full-size sedan.

Disclaimer: I'm the guy who dropped him from the bikies list, which I 
started back in... 1993?... and administered for at least five years. In 
those years, he was indeed the only person to be dropped from the list, 
this a little while after he abruptly resigned his position on the BFW. 
Come to think of it, his offense was posting repeated personal 
attacks... sort of like this one I'm writing now.
