With neighbors like these...

Some of today's delightful comments from the Banner-Herald's story on this morning's Bike to Work Day, which was a success.

Why is it that I have to "share the road" with bicycles when they pay no fuel tax to maintain the streets and roads, no ad volorum tax, have no insurance, no registration, and are more of a traffic hazard than Winfield's telephone poles on Hawthorne Avenue?

Those cute little cock-roach hats is what I like.

How would I look wearing Spandex(sic) and driving my SUV with a Hemi engine? Bet I'd look cuter than these wimps.

How about because roads are also built using money from property taxes, sales taxes, federal grants, etc... Do you want to ban pedestrians from crossing the street as well?

It's just another liberal ploy to raise the cost of gasoline. We must ban bicycles at once!

Makes you feel all neighborly, doesn't it?
I am concerned that Winfield J. Abbe is hip to our demonic conspiracy to raise the cost of gasoline (who knew BikeAthens and Twilight were so influential?).
I guess this means we'll have to find another secret subterranean lair in which to hatch our next nefarious plans for world dominance and economic manipulation...
