while I'm almost never in favor of limiting or prohibiting bike parking, it's probably not a good idea to leave one's bike parked on state street for any length of time this weekend. I doubt that the police are actually planning to ticket bicycles parked there; I would hope that they are just trying to prevent the vandalism that has been perpetrated on bicycles parked on State Street in years past.
that said, I agree with Matt's point: the announcement should have said where the racks would be relocated, and not just state that they would be removed. chuck At 11:46 AM 10/30/2003 -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >This from the Madison Police Department: > >Bicycles will not be allowed to park on State St. beginning > >Thursday Oct. 30 until Sun.

Notices will be posted. Please ride your bike, do not leave it sitting safely inside". _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
