The Councilperson seems to be confusing recreation with transportation. Bikes are fine. Bikes are fun. But bicycles are not ever going to be a mainstream method of transportation in Olympia, Thurston County, or Washington State. Billions of dollars have been spent on airbags, seat belts and crumple zones. More billions of dollar have been spent on heated leather seats and multi-speaker sound systems. To trade safety, comfort and range to save the planet by virtue-signaling with 19th Century technology? No thank you. At the state and federal level, we'll work on more efficient fuels for personal transportation. At the city and county level: just work on filling the potholes.
