So, as I suspected, there is no current "progressive" way to pay for this, given our Eyman-initiative-hamstrung funding process. Right?

Sincere question - To all that seem to support the goals of this measure but think the funding mechanism is too regressive ... How would you pay for it, then?

Ohhh my head hurts ... not used to all these numbers and facts ... I thought scofflaw smug spandex mcschwinn cyclistanazi no helmet no tax red-light running scofflaw cyclists were the source of all evil. like that woman they hit on the trail one time? or the one that gave ...

Training wheels ... ha ha ha ha ha! ohmigod ROTFLOL! As HIGHlarious as that joke was, I like your usual brand of unintentional humor better. You keep being you.

TaylorB1 - Do you have even a passing acquaintance with CBC? It would be hard to find a group that pushes harder for helmets and lights and waivers and education and blah-de-blah. This Thursday they're giving away 420 bike light sets, in fact. So spare us the ignorant "yap" about ...

This just in: "... a $2.5 million noise reduction barrier was installed on I-5 that has failed to do anything. That’s half as much as Mayor McGinn’s proposed new funds for Walk Bike Ride projects in 2011 ..." For more, see: http://www.kirotv.com/news/25639670/detail.html And we're still complaining about the cost of ...

Um, Lincoln? I hope you're not in any sort of statistical or science-based field of work. Your careful study took a route not typically used by bikes, to the top of one of the steepest hills in Seattle. There are bike census numbers out there if you actually care. But ...

Thank you, Bradley, for pointing out that this was an attempt at a "humor" piece. Indeed, it might be considered funny, at the WAC or the club or wherever the old boys hang out these days. Bravo, indeed! Pip pip! Hyperbole, I say. Positively Swiftian. It's Pimm's o'clock! Save it ...

I think the subtitle would have more accurately read: The author, afflicted by exhaust-induced dementia, yells at cyclists to "get off my lawn". This is neither funny nor accurate nor well-reasoned nor coherent nor productive. Crosscut - grow some editorial balls please. Enough of these gomer "emeriti" that can't write ...

Crazies? Nutzies? "Bikes are for children"? Way to elevate the discourse. As for the sex offenders, they were there back when kids rode to school too. But parents watched local news back then, not 24-hr national cable news, so correctly ranked stranger abduction as LOW on the risk of things ...

Funny how the "we fear change" car enthusiasts get het up at any hint of making things easier or safer for cyclists when our culture/space allocation/revenue stream has to work so hard to make the act of moving 200 pounds of person a few miles using 2,000 pounds of metal ...

Guess what cities also share our lousy weather? Amsterdam and Copenhagen. The weather argument doesn't hold up. It's about infrastructure and attitudes. Not about the drizzle. So why don't you ride your $50 bike to work? And what does that have to do with the "helmet laws don't work for ...

Another carefully curated selection of examples by "lifelong democrat" TVD that somehow manages to make the Republican responses to the speech appear reasonable and deserved. A tall order, but this columnist seems skilled at putting an erudite polish on Fox news talking points. When you see the Republicans sitting on ...

Ugh. Is their a CrossCut rss feed without this guy's posts? The angry republicans at your local community college write better op-eds than this. Franken cutting off Lieberman is your example of lack of courtesy in the Senate this year? I suppose it is if you're completely head-up-your-alimentary blind to ...
