It's CRAAAZZZZY.<BR/><BR/>A lot of kids bike to work because they don't have the money for a car, gas, insurance, registration - cut them a break. Plus a lot of people want to be green-but it's hard work to bike to a job and then work all day and bike home - I know, I did it a few times last year (trying to be green) so now if this bill were to pass - I'd be penalized by having to pay more money to try to be green-ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Oh, sorry...I'm venting.Kimbra Kaschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955657301998255029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704325586983583256.post-61028631153407629852009-03-20T20:00:00.000-07:002009-03-20T20:00:00.000-07:00Holy crow!

Perhaps it is due to the increase in people riding. Perhaps it has something to do with theft?

It's very popular in China and Japan. I'm not sure if I would do it in China due to the pollution but they have whole roads for bikes.<BR/><BR/>Japan is a great place to bike. Everyone does it with these cute baskets to carry their groceries on it.<BR/><BR/>But there are all kinds of rules for bikers and it makes sense when you have that many people biking.Christina Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459203755170266842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704325586983583256.post-84602806896551082552009-03-20T06:24:00.000-07:002009-03-20T06:24:00.000-07:00That seems counterproductive!
