On a five miler today down a busy bike path to IFAS I noticed that the bike path was covered with the glass of deceased headlights, so I went up on the sidewalk. How sad that some bike paths aren't swept at all which renders them somewhat unusable.ROF has replaced his tires twice in less than a year.
Later, I biked to the John Gorrie for orientation on RAP's Saturday fundraiser. There was a discussion about limited parking for the event. I am still puzzled why folks will rev up their 2,000 lb.aluminum and plastic sarcophagus rather than walk or ride. Margaret Meade said, "If fish were anthropologists, the last thing they would discover would be water." I have always used that quote to explain obvious opacity.
As a culture, we are fat, depressed, economically distraught and worried about the environmental degradation from an excess of spewed carbon. Walking and/or biking solves almost all of these problems. Why can't we see this??????
In the D.C. budget smackdown,John Mica is removing all of the dollars for alternative transportation. It looks like we must widen highways a process we know creates additional gridlock. Sadness.
