[SDCBC] Well it looks like I am not the only one...

Bicyclists and beggars can't be choosers, right? Good enough for you 
with your bike equipped for dirt roads should be good enough for 
everyone, right? So, curb cuts and ramps for handicapped shouldn't be 
paid for with public money? So why pave any roads if we can all get 
SUVs anyway?

Do you have any idea how much money was spent to provide a hugely 
wide paved freeway so that people could travel in all weather 
conditions in cars at high speed in relative safety - and ban bike 
use on it?... and you think a dirt path connector that no money have 
been spent on is just fine for bicycling?

If you wish to reduce paving of the planet, how about considering a 
rational allocation of the use of the existing and future pavement; 
are you in support of the current allocation of more for car travel 
and none for bicycling?

Just wondering...
