Poor little boys and their cars... so misunderstood, so mistreated. Maybe we should do an exaustive study on the true externalities of a car centered society vis-a-vis a bicycle centered society and proceed from there. My guess is that those of us with an ounce of sense will get outside to enjoy the fresh air and quiet neighborhoods of our new bicycle oriented city while those of us that are too fat to go anywhere under their own power will still be ranting and raving on commissioner Sam's blog. BTW, I own a car and a house and pay income taxes, and I think the budget for biking in Portland should be tripled. $3.5 million is not nearly enough.
