Spring is here, complete with babies and bikers and their dumbass counterparts - cyclists. I almost ran over a few yesterday on the River Road. I mean cyclists, not babies although don't make a habit of leaving your babies on the River Road because I'll run those over too.
There are fifty million miles of bike paths around all of the lakes, rivers, and strip joints because Minnesota caters to every whiner within earshot. After producing the fifty million miles of bike paths, studies have shown that cyclists are safer riding in traffic and are therefore encouraged to ride on the road. Apparently cyclists can't ride around each other or pedestrians without causing chaos. There is also a 10 mph speed limit on bike paths which is outside of the speed range of most cyclists. Their range falls between faster than walkers, rollerbladers and leisure riders to slower than automobiles. The take-home message is: if you hear of a planned bike path for your neighborhood, vehemently oppose it.
I have a meeting and therefore must end my rant. Sorry.
