List any legitimate concerns you have that are cycling/cycling industry related as a result of the 2008 election results.

I'm not aware of any particular issues at hand.
Being a member of ABATE of Ohio, we are always on the lookout for unfriendly legislation being brewed up on the state and federal level.
Haven't seen anything come up just because there is an administration change.
But we will keep an eye out..........

Don't think W ever rode and can't see O leathering up either.

And I'm OK with that.

I thought "O" was for OPRAH! I guess 1 in the same...

Hey Adam

Glad to see you once in awhile..

I am expecting lotsa bad stuff to come down on US..
More gun control, higher taxes, socialized health care, open borders and amnesty for illegals, higher fuel prices, jeeze, I could go on an on..
These things affect all,, even the sickle riders..

A couple things that will affect us on sickles, that I expect to see, will be a national helmet law and a national speed limit..
Their reasons will be to hold down fuel usage and to prevent riders head injuries so-as to keep costs down for the national health-care system..
Hmmm, to keep costs down for the National Health Care huh,, I wonder if they'll ban water-skiing, mountain climbing, skate-boarding, sports et al..?
Will they demand to see everybodies Grocery store discount card record to see what they eat so they can mandate a healthier diet for the good of the peoples republic,, heck,, better not use up tooo much of your National Health Care allotment..

Remember always---- Liberal does not mean Liberty and Freedom it means Repression..

BTW--
I don't know if W ever rode but he did Repeal the Texas Helmet Law for those that had Health Ins.
His brother Jeb did the same in Florida..

That domestic terrorism some guys voted in to the most powerful mandate in the world will worsen it for us all, including us abroad good ol' USA.

I got a job, and that were not a state affair, I did it myself. I am strictly independent. Not member of any organizations, including bike clubs, even if I were close to start a new one, but got on better thoughts and quitted those stupidies before it were too advanced. I select my buddies, not the society or state.

I can just see worsening awaiting for USA now, and that MUSLIM in charge women will probably be wearing burqas in a very short time period. Some lesser intelligent people sold out USA to Arabic fundamentalists and their interests. Sorry to say that but that's a fact.

You are so right BB. I never thought there would be enough stupid people around to vote such a man into the Presidency. I should have known, my eldest son married into such a family....on the second generation of lounging their worthless carcass around the house and living off those with enough backbone to support themselves.
Our society is in rapid decline.

The worst is that me, a non-USA citizen can see and say this, from Sweden, and have a clearer picture of what is happening than many domestic american. That is the scary part.

street bob · #9 11-16-2008, 04:34 PM

I'm glad you see the truth even from such a far distance.
There are many Americans who see this as well, but I'll say that this decline has been predicted a couple thousand years ago.
We are in the last days as I can see it. I'm not trying to start any controversies so please don't think that. Its just my observation.

I'm wondering what our forefathers would think now. Its hard to imagine how many ignorant people we are surrounded by..It scares the hell out of me just wondering whats next.
