Good a place as any to chime in on this. Madison is always touted as such a bicycle-friendly city. It is, but only in comparison to other places that are essentially bicycle-impossible. I lived for a few years in Durham, NC, 4 miles north of downtown. There literally was no way I could bicycle to downtown w/o risking life and limb and angering a lot of drivers because the roads were so narrow that there was no room for 2 cars and a bike at any one spot. If Madison wants to be a truly bicycle-friendly city, it has a looooong way to go. PS: I went to college here many years ago and always bicycled. It was youthful carefreeness and luck that kept me unhurt during those years. Robin Alexander

There is a bike rack actually right on the other side of a wall from the Law Park bike path. The snow from the massive sea of concrete down there is pushed up against the bike rack. Another pile of snow is right near the east exit of the sidewalk to the path. At least this time you can get through, but having a picture of it would be nice to have on file. tim _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
