On this note, I'll switch my subscription to digest mode.  It's a shame that
the tone of our conversations degrade so rapidly to name calling and
belittling each other.  Most of the readers are all here for the same
reason, enjoyment of biking and watching out for each other's safety.

See y'all on two wheels...

Sorry - since you don't drive a sedan or SUV, your opinion on this issue 
is both irrelevant and detrimental to the political well-being of 
bicyclists.  (And we won't even get into the fact that BMX bikers are 
all lawless hooligans who suck every ounce of goodwill out of otherwise 
caring and bicycle-friendly motorists.)
