It appears that post was in fact removed.
I also appreciate the irony in this. I've noticed the late afternoon outbound
car traffic on Seminole Highway and other parts of the Paoli loop seem to have
increased markedly over the past couple of years, and it sure looks like
commuter traffic to me. Even the Paoli Square has constant traffic. Verona
Road is a nightmare, Fish Hatchery not much better.
If people want to live the suburban dream, fine, but to complain about bike
traffic out in the 'burbs after they cram our streets? Sheesh.
