East Coast Greenway Tour

Did they - League anti-cycling Bicycling advocates - mention the incredible
toll cycling has taken on this group? Thirty percent of the riders racked
up some incredible injuries and medical bills. Hardly an advertisement
'ceptin' to get bikes off the road as too dangerous.

Today our old Hippie mailman delivered the Fall 2004 issue of whatever
they're calling American Wheelman Magazine nowadays, containing a story
[page 10] of the Inaugural Tour of the East Coast Greenway from Maine to
Florida. The featured rider, Jack Kurrle is pictured on what looks to be a
Longbikes Slipstream.

Nope. The author [Waylon Whitley of the East Coast Greenway Alliance]
didn't even mention the nature of Kurrle's "cycling accident" even
though he described in detail "a broken neck, a life-threatening staph
infection, and $450,000 in medical bills".

That seems to be the entire thrust of this "greenway alliance".

And I am being shunned by the local 'bicyclists' for trying to make them see
this. "There are none so blind as those that will not see." "The
conspiracy of ignorance masquerades as common sense."

Is there a web site for that tour?

now *that* is interesting. I only knew about the east/west Greenway.
I hope a trail of some sort will be made on the west coast in my
lifetime. Nice to read the east coast is a little more up to speed.
Thanks for the link LioNiNoil.
