In an article by Adam Voiland via the Streetsblog Network, there are some choice quotes from Rush Limbaugh about cyclists. Somehow I get the feeling he doesn’t like us.
Frankly, if the door opens into a bicycle rider I won’t care. I think they ought to be off the streets and on the sidewalk.
Pedestrians don’t fare much better:
The sidewalks are for pedestrians, the streets are for pedestrians when they happen to wander in one, and now the streets are for bike riders — and we automobile drivers, what do we do, we have to give way we have to yield to everybody who streets are not designed for.
Read the article for quite a bit more - and be safe on the road this weekend.

That video at the end was interesting.
Makes me want to get some cameras for my bike, too.

How can you say that, Dottie? This man is the voice and leader of the Republican Party.

“…and now the streets are for bike riders…” Another example of ignorance of traffic laws. He seems to have forgotten bikes and pedestrians have been around a lot longer than cars.
