From one bike commuter to another, I can appreciate how good a week that can be in the Pacific Northwest. 4 days bike commuting is a solid week, well done.

You’re right…politics…a slippery slope indeed!

I also agree with you that there is a third option – the free market. I personally think regulating and litigating are the slow paths to change in this case. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one to worship at the alter of the free market, but consumer pressure in the context of competition often produce the desired results – and quickly.
