Joining the cacophony of wants bouncing at Prez-Elect Obama’s ear is a request from the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy to consider the pedestrian, and the cyclist, when he puts together that economic recovery package during his first days in office.
The package, says the RTC, is expected to devote vast funds to car-centric road projects. Well, howzabout throwing some of that scootie the wheeled/tennied folks’ way? Eh?
RTC is circulating
a petition
, which says:
I support explicit funding for trails, walking and biking in the upcoming economic recovery package. Funding active transportation is a cost-effective investment that creates jobs and leads to healthier people, stronger communities, decreased oil dependency, and reduced climate change emissions.
Thanks Tim Daniels with the Bigfoot Bicycle Club.

oh no!!!! cute white girls with a black man!!! this is one of the things that scared the heck out of the prude old white men who are jealous of well equiped black men. all the talk about him being a terrorist was a diversion from the fact that white men try to oppress black men on a daily basis due to fear……if you brainwash white women to believe that black men are stupid and dangerous, they are less likely to try black meat.
and we know what they say, “once you go black…”
The primary way youth acquire racial stereotype is from their elders.
Repeating racist hate stereotypes outside an academic discourse serves mainly to perpetuate them. If you’re truly in favor of eliminating racism, don’t model it.
so the idea that black guys have big cocks is just a stereotype that perpetuates hate?

So, one thing I’ve never figured out about rails to trails on Humboldt Bay is WHY proponents of restoring the railroad want to protect the route from Eureka to Arcata? I mean, surely on the off-chance that trains do return to Humboldt County, the city of Eureka would make a reasonable stopping point; why would this be inconsistent with a bike trail along the old railbed along the bay?
John: The deep-water terminals are all on the other side of the bay, in Samoa and Fairhaven. You gotta go around to get to ’em.
