(I wasn't able to find a link to it online. I saved the print article if anyone wants to see it. Also this week WIRED had a headline article about using the gas tax (currently 18c/gal and hasn't been raised in 15 years) as a means to encourage less driving and subsidize more transportation alternatives. http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/12/gargantum-gas-t.html I'm leaving for WI tomorrow, but will be available by email. Thanks to everyone for making this a banner year for bicycling (and walking) advocacy and action. Wishing you and your families all the blessed peace, joy and good health of the season - and a prosperous new year.
