And 28th has been busy as $nit ever since Zane's pet lane mileage heist started too.

How come one loudmouth baboon insists on a configuration that never really worked at all over the course of maybe six weeks, and everybody in Boulder who actually knew how to ride a bike in traffic clearly said this was a complete waste of money from the get-go?

How about "capture the flag" when this snake oil didn't even work in Dom's last host organism community where there was no snow removal issue?

Gainesville mayor describes how poorly thought out Dom's "right sizing" jihad was down there and why they were all abandoned by the beginning of last year.

You mean people who don't secure their U lock, can't access the front brake lever and need 12 foot of bike lane primarily because some loudmouth TAB a$$clown told them they are entitled to wallow down Folson with a half empty pizza box in one arm?

(The picture was so embarrassing that the Camera had yanked it from the previous article by mid morning.)

And if you actually think that Dom and Zane will ever be productive adults, then you must also think that this pathetic ill-prepared species will be around in January too!

Any truth to the rumor that you can get extra credit at Naropa Total JOKE University just for participating in one of these road stoppage events since they shut down US 36 last winter?

(Of course they still expect you to pay full retail, goes without saying...)

A few wrong sizing articles ago I proposed that at $22K in property tax each year the Smooth Motors parcel contributes more to Boulder schools and infrastructure than the whole Transportation Advisory Board put together does.

None of their salaried shills ever even tried to dispute that equation? Even though ten minutes earlier they were sure and certain that the company only sold one car a month and that nobody would miss them at all.

The real problem with getting paid to fail all your life Zane and Dom is that you still FAIL.

Curiously just about every photograph that has ever accompanied a Camera wrong sizing article showed people riding without helmets. I've ridden almost 8700 miles this year at least 7000 of them within Boulder County and can't remember ever being any place like that?

Two hands on the handlebars and a working front brake is worth considering too? Except in Zane and Dom's publicly funded fantasy world anyway! Captain Bollard is there to "protect" them, right?

No wonder they deleted that picture so quickly this morning?

Now the poor girl doesn't have her name in the paper any more too? Bummer! Anybody know if she made the print version?

For what it's worth the Colorado Daily iteration only has one picture.

Enabling people who had no use for a front brake in traffic and even worse than that a second arm to steer with was quite clearly the whole Mission Statement from day one here. Why back off now? You know I've always found a front brake to be pretty useful when you have a stoplight every 200 yards myself??

Did Zane and Dom ever even realize that this just might result in a bit of a serious liability issue for the City going forward?

The boycott is a commendable notion but they are a funded non-profit and will just vote themselves higher salaries regardless.

(An arrangement that's pretty consistent with almost everyone who had ever promoted this "experiment.")

This article says $170K, they told the Mayor $150K the one time they addressed the issue. (Of course they were lying like rugs about positive feedback percentages in the same session too?) No money left in the budget to remove the Folsom bollards either.

At the outset when they still thought they could steal Iris and 63rd there certainly seemed to be $300K available for the whole combination plate?

In case anyone is the least bit confused there is Federal Money behind this initiative and their stated goal (which they themselves admit is ridiculous in the next breath,) is to magically divert 30 percent of all traffic to bicycles.

Fortunately we have been dealing with delusional evangelists just like this in Boulder ever since I got here 34 years ago. The network of surface streets here was already optimized for all users way beyond their capability to comprehend, even if they had actually bothered to try.

I'm not much for conspiracy theories but I sure have seen some greasy deals go down in this town. I've also have very favorable dealings with Xcel in the past, especially right after the floods.

In my opinion saving the Muni with that $15 Mil in sunk costs so far and an election coming up is EXACTLY why they are backing off on the wrong sizing debacle right now. Just three weeks ago they were telling everyone to sit there and take it.
