I never did understand why Redmond is the Bicycle Capital of the World. That sign's been up there as long as I can remember.

Why is San Francisco on that list? It is not any safer to ride a bike in that town than it is here.

Doesn't Redmond have a sign on it stating it's the "bicycle capital" of the world or something? Some capital if it cannot make it on the top 10 list. What's up?

I call Bullshit, LCS. Roads are built with general funds, which we ALL pay into, and are intended for the use of all. If we had a gasoline tax that exclusively paid for road construction and maintenance, I think you would have a point. But we don't. Sorry, thanks for playing.

Bikes belong on bike paths and should only be driven on city streets if they have a motor. The tax payers built the trail at great expense to take bikes off the road, the trails are where they belong and nowhere else- use bicycles in the privacy of your own home.

Biking in Seattle sucks sucks sucks unless you live in Ballard and work at the UW, in which case its good. But if you work anywhere downtown that's not second ave (north to south only!--better walk home!), you're screwed/dead.Ugh.
