Maybe This Is What They Meant By "The Green Alternative"

Bicycle trails are being pitched as means of "safe, green, free" exercise.

It seems as if all three of those benefits are now in question.

With the safety concerns of the Swamp Rabbit Trail (and other similar trails across the country) being so high that an millions in police protection being added, from studies that find that the air may not be so healthy to breathe as trails border roads and walkers and bikers breathe in car fumes, now comes word that bicycles are being considered for taxation.

Maybe the politicians and "green" groups mean THI$ kind of "green"?

Seems like all the promises of these trails and all the presentation points in these "focus groups" are exactly what Conservatives Of The Upstate has said, all along - another part of politics - another part of agenda 21's quasi environmentalism.
