The Latest Safety Hazard: Bicycles!

So I was just reading over at ATXBS that bicycles are on the list of  ”items determined to be a potential safety hazard” and are banned by the Secret Service for the Obama inauguration. WTF? Airlines are starting to charge for bikes even if the fold into normal sized luggage, the Dallas bike coordinator is anti-bike lane of any kind, and now this!  Never mind that cars are the real safety hazard in this country.

So if you are going to the inauguration, leave your bike at home. Oh, and you’ll need to leave your pets as well. I’d hate to see your toy poodle, Buffy, get confiscated because “Items surrendered to security officials  will not be returned.”
