No Eric, It is not the issue of Smart Growth that is splitting bicyclists. Smart Growth is one of many tools available to help make bicycling better in Wisconsin. You have yet to forward an argument as to why Smart growth can't help make Wisconsin a better place to bicycle - and I think it is because you do not understand what Smart Growth is. So how about you get over your reflexive anti-smart growth rhetoric, and go do some reading. I suggest your read "Suburban Nation". Seriously, I believe that there are elements within smart growth that even a libertarian can appreciate.

On that we can agree. But pitting some sincere cyclists against other sincere cyclists should certainly NOT be a result. There is no way for BFW to get involved in either local zoning or STATE powers over property without bitterly splitting the bicycle membership base. So why suggest that as a goal? Certainly the addition of a word such as "Smart" does not make action either smart or a consensus. These past days of this discourse makes such advocacy clearly dangerous.
