BIKE: Mostly Well-Done AusChron Article on SCB (Bury the Hatchet)

[Robbin]

What it is starting to look like is some of the Bike people have a mindset
of a WAR with the property owners on Shoal Creek. Why are we fighting? Shoal
Creek is a nice and safe place to be -- whether you are walking, running,
riding, driving, or living there (yes, people do other things besides drive
or ride a bike down SCB). Why not try to co-exist? I truly believe that that
was and still is the concern of the neighborhood residents and property
owners (I know it is for me). Fight for something which is important -- all
this is doing is creating a negative image of bicyclists.
