It's not quite at the same level as the Health Care Reform or Finance Reform bruhahas, but I still find these developments around biking in the U.S. interesting. It's nice to see Obama's Transportation Secretary "walking the walk" as well as his boss has been doing lately.
I guess we have to give American conservatives points - in this case - for consistency: they don't believe in climate change, and therefore anything done to encourage or support cycling probably makes no sense to them at all. And besides, the more they obstruct changes that facilitate more biking, the more they can argue that Americans will never commute on two wheels anyway! (Lovely circular logic, that!)
I wonder if any politician in my lifetime will ever come along to put the "conserve" back into "conservative"?
