[*BCM*] bill to support bike storage at airports

[Jim Leonard]

Just found the following article:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/09/AR2007070901533.html

where it points out that Rep James Oberstar (MN) inserted a provision
in a spending bill that provides federal monies for bike storage at
airports (for air passengers).

The commentary is rather weak with the author asking the following
questions:  "Who would ever want to ride a bike to the airport? How
would you get your luggage there -- in a side car?" and "how do you
safely navigate NASCAR-inspired cabbies and other drivers racing to
catch a plane?".  It doesn't seem to occur to the author that these
might be considered solved problems by many cyclists.
