The 14th Amendment addresses the Equal Treatment under the law principle. Our tax money is used for automobiles, not bikes. I am not saying that bikes should replace cars. I just want them to use a very small portion (and that's all it would take) to make real cycling (going to the store, library, groccery stores, etc...)safer, and more convenient. There is no reason that this can't be done. It just hasn't been. More attention needs to be placed on pedestrian facilities and mass-transit as well.
