There will be no discussion of issues.

The Utah Atty General will primary him and he will retire in disgrace. There will be no debates. There will be no position statements. There will be no campaign.

He will retire. And the replacement will separate himself from the GOPe in DC or he’ll be removed, too.

Yeah, so great that several bayarea cities are tearing car lanes out to make bike lanes, making traffic even worse when it doesn’t need to be.

The only issue of significance is removal of Romney.

A broken clock is correct twice per day. But is there anything more important that Romney could be talking about?

With me, there will ALWAYS be discussion of issues. And it's increasingly clear that you DO support this demonicRAT bike-lane BS waste of money.

Be a man: Admit it. Or deny it. Obfuscation is for swamp-critters.

Because pedaling make people fart.

Another government mandate to come: smog arresters built into bicycle seats.

Statements like these are never made in a vacuum. You don't seriously think he called a press conference just to condemn this one piece of stupid legislation, and then disappeared. Please tell me you don't think that.

Quote from the article: " Romney told Insider in an interview. "

Interviews cover many topics, and the interviewee responds to questions posed to him. The matter may seem trivial to you ... but he was asked. To his credit, he gave a direct answer. That's rare. Even a weasel like Romney occasionally gets something right.

Ebikes, defeats the whole purpose of riding a bicycle.

Actually, ebikes increases the reasons for people to ride bikes. I own an ebike, and I have to pedal to activate the motor-assist feature which can be as little as none to high-powered assist. No pedaling, no motion. There are basically two types, pedal-activation or push-button activation. The push-button types are slower in allowed mph, while the pedal-activation are allowed a higher mph. The ebike allows me to tackle steep uphill riding, and has a button to move the bike when I walk alongside it. Great for seniors like me.

As for bicycle lanes that take away car lanes, I'm against that and agree that it is out of control to reduce car lanes that aggravate movement of traffic. I had little problem as a boy riding bikes in city traffic, and see little need to take away car lanes in cities for sparse use of bicycles.

Bikes are entitled to safe passage, just like cars.

Would you rather follow behind a bike, or allow them their own lane?
