Town in the US bans cycling

repost.

To be fair I didn't use the search because I figure the In The News thread is a good place to dump stuff even if it is a repost. And anyway I know how much you love to merge threads.

"The ban applies only to the narrow 19th century thoroughfares in a town that is lined with historic buildings and new casinos, not the few residential streets"

not the whole town then.

Still a silly thing to do, if the 19th century thoroughfares is deemed narrow and unsuitable, surely reduced motorised traffic there is the keys?

It just mean now motorised vehicle will no longer need to worry about cyclists on the road and have a higher chance of an accident (despite bicycles being banned).

I didn't merge because it's a cycling specific news item that I'm sure another 5 people will posts links to next week.. may as well let it have its own discussion.

With this sub-prime shit.. I'm going to go to the USA buy a fuckload of cheap-as suburbia and then ban cars..

I'm going to do the same, well the buying thing, invite you over and merge you as much as possible.

Its a bit of a non story.
