Eric, To what "organization" are you referring to in your last post? To what "organization" do you believe that most of the people who post to this forum belong? This Bikies email group is just a forum for people to discuss what they each see as issues pertaining to bicycling. Some people who post to this forum do believe that the issues of "land use and transportation" and "climate change" do pertain to bicycling. Some, yourself included I would presume, do not.

Brown" wrote: > <<I think the coverage of land use and transportation is generally > spotty and superficial in the local daily papers.>> > ____________ Dear Ms Brown, Bikies is often advocating for "land use restriction", "man determined global warming" , and other socialistic causes of our times in the name of bicycle riding. To many who contribute here, the two are simply one. Well, THEY ARE NOT. But where they are considered that way and yet only mention the activity of bike riding, it is not surprising there develops hostility against bike riders in general. Only today there has been shock expressed in a number of "bikies" listings about the woman's flip, callus, and derogatory remark about bike riders. Who knows why she was so down on bicyclists? But, I would be willing to bet that she might have run into socialists, masquerading as "bicycle advocates?" Otherwise, there is no rational reason for such an outburst against the simple bicycle. Why deceive people? Call your organization a "socialist land use federation?"
