FLASHBACK (as your life flashes in front of your eyes, readers):
"Now the question becomes whether enough people will put their lives on the line riding on bicycles along city streets.... "
"If all goes as planned, Bostonians and visitors will ride these bikes to run errands, reach their workplaces, travel from tourist site to tourist site and from meeting to meeting.... "
YOU FIRST, s***-bag!!!!!!!
Am I wrong, readers?
The DAY IS SEE a SHITTER in a SUIT on one, okay!
Yup, the day I see the POLITICIANS and the STINK ELITE out there SWEATING THEIR ASSES off THEN I will BELIEVE!
So when are they GIVING UP the LIMOS!!!?
"The hair-raising negotiation of Charles Circle was not the only fright. As the newbie pedaled tentatively through windblown rain.... forcing the rookie’s second screeching halt of the morning"
They want you to TAKE THEM in the RAIN? Are YOU KIDDING?
Btw, readers, I BIKED FOR TEN YEARS in all sorts of weather (even freezing cold and snow) during the '90s when I BOUGHT all this BULLSHIT so I've paid my dues!!!
And that was TWO NEAR MISSES in ONE MORNING of THREE-MINUTE RIDES?
This is NOT SOUNDING like a GOOD IDEA!
"The bike ride was not all bad.... [the] routes demonstrated the efficiency of biking.... when the biker is not terrified."
Yeah, PUT YOUR LIFE on the LINE and BE TERRIFIED because SOME LYING, FART-MISTING AGENDA-PUSHER is FOGGING UP YOUR FACE with their BUTT BELCH!!!!
See how long you can go before you blow your stack like I did.

Now we know WHICH WELL-CONNECTED INTEREST is going to GET the TAX LOOT for this IDIOTIC IDEA!!!!
"Hub’s planned bike-sharing program picks up speed" by Matt Collette, Globe Correspondent | August 13, 2009
The Metropolitan Area Planning Council announced yesterday that it had selected a vendor for a bike-sharing program that will allow Bostonians to borrow bikes for short trips around the city as soon as next summer, officials said.
A Canadian company, the Public Bike System Co., was selected to bring a network of bike-sharing stations to Boston, and it plans to expand the system into Cambridge, Somerville, and Brookline shortly afterward. Each city still has to finalize contracts with the company before the program can begin, said Amanda Linehan, a Planning Council spokeswoman.
Couldn't find an AMERICAN ONE, huh?
“This will make it easier for people to use bikes to do errands, to attend meetings during work hours, and to visit friends,’’ Marc Draisen, executive director of the Planning Council, said in a statement. “It will take cars off the road and improve our air quality. The Public Bike System Co. already runs a great system in Montreal, and we’re pleased to provide the municipalities the opportunity to enter into a contract with them.’’
Even during a DRIVING RAINSTORM while taking YOUR LIFE in your hands!!!!
Have they not gone TOO FAR, Bostonians? I'll never visit your foul city again.
Where did all the money go? I'm sorry, but....
Boston Museum of Science to Feature 9/11 Exhibit
No insult intended, Globe, but your city does LITERALLY STINK.
In the Montreal.... a world-class city.... program, called Bixi, bikes are stored at stations across the city, and riders scan in their credit card to obtain a bike.
Translation: You aren't world class Boston because you don't have a fascist bike program for a non-existent phenomena.
David Watson, executive director of the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition, a statewide advocacy group based in Boston, said the bike-sharing program has the potential to give people an alternative to driving or public transportation when it comes to short trips within the city.
“It creates a great opportunity for people who don’t identify themselves as bicyclists and who don’t ride in the city to shift some of their shorter trips from driving to biking,’’ he said.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, CRASH!!!
That's the END of that STOO-PID PROGRAM!!!!
Not all of us are OLYMPIC-CLASS CYCLISTS, insulting a**holes!
