> Not in the least concerned about that. No one will take away bikes. They unclog the roadways, they are a good tourist draw, and cops use them. COPS! And every single time an automobile driver deliberately clips or mercilessly mows down a cyclist in a fit of self-righteous rage, the sentence gets higher.
