Clowns want to ride their bicycles, and think we should pave the park so they can do it.

 Sorry I haven't posted much. Between the baby, the wife, and my need to buy stock in all diaper manufacturers I 've been busy.

  Yesterday the Morning CAW let some delusional liberal wacky wack post an editorial about how Allentown could be turned into Shangri-fuckin-la if only our city Clowns would take the advice of some outfit from North Carolina.

  One more fuckin' example of letting morons from a thousand miles away tell us what we should want.

 Let me sum it up for you and it won't cost you several hundred thousand dineros in consulting fees. I'll do it for free:

 WE DON"T NEED NO STINKIN' BIKEPATHS!

  You want to ride your bike, go out to the Helldrome in bumfuck Macungie. That's why Rodale built the damn thing. I already worry about cars when I'm walking on 19th street, the damn things can't stay off the curb. If you try and take a walk by Trexler's statue off Cedar Crest you have bike nuts whizzin' by as it is.

  I like PEDESTRIAN COMMUNITIES. That means walking to my store, my barber, and even for my beer at Volpe's. Hell if the city wants to fix something, fix the goddamn sidewalks. Try walking down Linden Street sometime from 7th heading west. You will see what I mean.

   For the love of God, why do we always talk about spending money to help the smallest fuckin' minority?
   This batwhacked plan of theirs isn't going to encourage anybody to ride their bike, its just gonna make the extremely small number speed demons who could give a fuck about my wife and I holding hands while walking a path more aggressive. Now we are going to be pushing a stroller when it gets warm, so I am gonna be worrying that they will knock my daughter into the air.What about my right to walk the park and not worry about getting slammed?
 
  Read Mike Molovinskys blog about where to go and bitch. I have a link to him on my page. It's this Wednesday. I think.
