Reading the WSJ [1]? Horrors!

Didn't Soglin used to ride out to Paoli on a semi-regular basis? At
least he does not smirk like another former mayor.

[1] Wisconsin State, not Wall Street.

"While I congratulate people who use their bikes as a primary source of
transportation and have myself been that person, I still have to agree
with Soglin. When roads are treacherous due to ice and snow, bicyclists
risk life and limb as well as the safety of others."

What's the matter with these people? Don't they know that driving a car
in the ice an snow is dangerous?!

"I saw a bicyclist slipping and sliding down the middle of [censored] St.
during busy traffic. I wanted to roll down my window and say, "Walk the
goddamn thing on the sidewalk before you kill yourself or someone else!""

I saw a car once slipping and sliding down the middle of Main Street
during busy traffic while I stood safely on the sidewalk. I wanted to
yell at the driver, "Get a horse before you kill yourself or someone else!"

My dad's little brother was killed by a runaway horse on the streets
of Butte, Montana back in the old days...no one was or is safe
anywhere, ever.

Yes, if you've got the clearance:

W240 are all available in 700c.
