I listened again and located the bicycle reference at 6:55
Interviewer: "One of the things I have noticed in our city is the increased number of bike lanes, taking out traffic lanes for bike lanes. Is that all part of this [ Agenda 21]? Tom Deweese: "Absolutely, they call it the complete street: Having the bike lanes share the road. In some cases this just isn't possible. Cars are a big thing. They need space, they need to get through. Bicycles weave around on the road and there is a danger there. There is a danger to the bicyclists. Taking that space - and the purpose of it if you begin to look at sustainable development policies, and they say it outright over and over again. The purpose is to make it more difficult to drive your car and make it more desirable to ride a bike." . So there you have it - complete streets is now marked for the Tea Party as an effort to undermine personal freedom! Will the Bike Fed counteract this message, or let it permeate?

So I take it from the last two posts that the BFW is not prioritizing action to defend Wisconsin's Smart Growth law from the "Agenda 21" fear mongering that is in full pitch right now? You really ought to take a listen to this interview that the Tea Partiers have been listening to: http://bit.ly/nNTQv0 (wait for the mp3 to load) Because they in part discuss how bike lanes are proof that the UN is going to steal our freedoms. Yes, it sounds ridiculous, but as I posted before, there was a meeting of republican legislators where this crap was rolled out.
