Viejas bans bicyclists from reservation </b></h3>I am writing to inform
the San Diego bicycle community of the Viejas Tribal Council's
anti-bicyclist attitude. For decades I and other cyclists have enjoyed
riding through the reservation. That ended recently when the Tribal
Council banned bicycles from the reservation. Apparently, unsafe
motorists created a liability for the tribe. Rather than enforce its own
traffic laws, it punished San Diego County cyclists. <br><br>
The Viejas Tribal Council needs to learn that good community relations
can't be bought with financial donations alone. More important is how it
treats human beings and in this case it has mistreated San Diego County
cyclists. <br><br>
I guess we are only welcome on the reservation if we are there to spend
money. <br><br>
