Consider the Monkey

The tail of the trail, you can walk on them but you can’t ride your bike? You can rent a four wheeled human powered conveyance but you can’t ride your bike? A two wheeled battery powered Segway seems to be okay. The police have the new two wheeled marvels to zip around on but do not, for goodness sakes, ride your bike. There is no parking how are the local kids suppose to get to the library in the summer, rent a Segway?

Hummm, ride the bus, but do not ride your bike to town. We have an ugly parking, pollution and traffic problem and we ticket visitors for riding those dangerous deadly bikes on the trail system.

Hummm, traffic jammed back to Lyons but DO NOT RIDE YOUR BIKE OR YOU WILL GET A TICKET AND WE MEAN IT!

Did any of you out there see the Chinese fire drill at Elkhorn and Moraine when emergency vehicles, motor homes, pedestrians and shuttle bus all tried to occupy the intersection at the same time? It’s not funny someone is going to get killed and we as a community are responsible.

What idiot comes up with this goofy stuff? We remove the cross walks and create jaywalking tourists and then the former cross walk guards run around ticketing the jaywalkers. I’m not making this stuff up, honestly.

Consider the monkey, the higher they climb the tree the only thing visible is their rear end.
