Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said federal efforts to encourage replacing car lanes with bike lanes is “the height of stupidity,” as well as joining other GOP lawmakers in expressing skepticism over proposals to incentivize e-bike purchases.
“I’m not going to spend money on buying e-bikes for people like me who have bought them — they’re expensive,” Romney told Insider in an interview. “Removing automobile lanes to put in bike lanes is, in my opinion, the height of stupidity, it means more cars backing up, creating more emissions.”
Romney’s comment comes after Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) introduced the Sarah Debbink Langenkamp Active Transportation Safety Act last month, which would support state and local government efforts to build safer, more complete networks for bicycling and walking.
The legislation — named after a U.S. diplomat who died last August after being struck by a flatbed truck driver — will unlock Highway Safety Improvement Program funding for projects that connect two pieces of safe cycling infrastructure and allow other bicyclist and pedestrian safety projects to be fully federally funded.

Romney is competing with himself on this ‘height of stupidity’
He’s flailing his arms, look at me, look at me...
Eff that AH.
It’s up there, but still behind the stupidity of making this guy a senator.
My thought exactly...
Could you imagine all the assaults of ever kind that would occur today if everyone was riding around a bike. You become a target. You have no protection.
An decision has already been made.
The Mormon Atty General of Utah will primary Romney, who will retire in disgrace rather than face him.
The announcement of Romney’s retirement will delay right up until it’s not reasonable to expect a heart attack from the challenger.
Romney will be resigning in disgrace as the lead Swamp Creature of Utah.
I think bike lanes are great in urban areas.
I would like to see more of them.

That settles it for me, we need to BAN All Public Employee’s Nationwide and Retired Public Employee’s from using any method or mode of transportation that uses fossil fuels
Blind squirrel, etc, etc...
He’s right - you ever try hauling a dog on top of a bike??
And imagine how much use they will get from October to May above the 40th parallel. NONE!
He’s a lying jerk
Politicians first
Romney’s stopped clock moment.
Uh oh, when he starts saying things we agree with that means only one thing, he’s running for POTUS.
if anyone knows about the height of stupidity, it would be Mittens.
