And I thought NM politics was bad.

Edit, I smell a rat, Blackrock Colorado doesn't google.

Where exactly is this place? I see a black hawk west of denver on the map. Ahh, in the story you linked to it is black hawk. Had me going there.

Lol. It had a population of 118 in 2000. Methinks that the amount of cyclists in that city is probably 2, the probably biased mayor assumably not among them. :)
 
its the old politics

say something stupid
change the national flag
make a complete idiot of your self
and you are sure to get national head lines and

free advertising all over the country
i bet the casinos are doing well
 
Now that they have the big money casino's in town, they have to get rid of 110 of the original residents who are damn hippies who ride bikes. Bad for the casino image, all those dreadlock slackers.

Thinking "Bad Day at Black Rock" ?
 
Popped up again in the Seattle Times: Maybe they're slumming for news...

In reading the story it galls me is that Aldermen have made no provision for a reasonable alternate route. Good luck with that enforcement :p

Maybe we should, um, well... Hey Matt, can you regear your yellow trike for 115mph... I'll ride it through town slow until the police attmept to stop me... then leave em in the dust.

Maybe we could get a high speed chase video posted of these idiots chasing down a bicyclist ?

A&&*HOLE$!

In a backwards town like that, I think the police may just shoot you rather than chasing you :p.
 
Im in I know I could out run them! Its not just th top speed but how much quicker my bmx accelerates then a cop car and the little tight paths and trails I can fit on lol :mrgreen:
