We were invited recently by our county supervisor, a Democrat and UN Agenda 21 Smart Growth proponent, to a “bike to work day.” Our county has almost a million inhabitants and is criss-crossed by two of the busiest interstates and highways in the nation. On any given day and night, we are lucky to get home unharmed, after inching our way in extreme traffic congestion.
Most people live at least 10-25 miles from work. I tried to picture how this “bike to work day” would work, not withstanding logistics and mortality rates, but also in terms of middle-aged people with various degrees of arthritis, able to bike such a long distance. How would they smell to co-workers, once they made it to work, should they not first succumb to sheer exhaustion or die splattered on the very busy highways by drivers eager to get to New York?
