And rude. The ultimate question for me will be; where will I take my grandchildren (when I have them) to ride on their little twelve and sixteen inch wheeled bikes with training wheels. Certainly not on “unseparated” bike lanes, where distracted and aggressive drivers will always be a threat and “Freds,” and other fast and furious types, are even making the pike paths dicey for young riders. Let's face it, when each and every one of us took our first ride, it wasn't for exercise or speed or distance; it was simply to ride.

It is almost impossible for me (old gal, boomer) to believe we so failed to change the world. We have it so right on the home front, I don't know what to do about the fringes. I have raised a good son. I guess I should have raised more. Your outrage is affirmation that we are on the right track in our world. I guess we need to try harder to engage the wider one. I wish I had an answer.
