<DIV>Just found the following article:<BR><A href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/09/AR2007070901533.html" target=_blank>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/09/AR2007070901533.html</A><BR><BR>where it points out that Rep James Oberstar (MN) inserted a provision<BR>in a spending bill that provides federal monies for bike storage at<BR>airports (for air passengers).<BR><BR>The commentary is rather weak with the author asking the following<BR>questions: "Who would ever want to ride a bike to the airport? How<BR>would you get your luggage there -- in a side car?" and "how do you<BR>safely navigate NASCAR-inspired cabbies and other drivers racing to<BR>catch a plane?". It doesn't seem to occur to the author that these<BR>might be considered solved problems by many cyclists.<BR><BR>--jim<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Boston Critical Mass mailing
