I don't see an email to Mrs. Peters? How do I send an email to her to show support for bicycling?
Michael
WHat the hell do you expect from an administration that is as close to a fascist one as this country has ever seen?
Remember... it is better to fight 'them' over there than it is to fight 'them' over here. Can you tell me who this mysterious 'them' is?
Is it terrorists or the American Citizen.

This is another example of this administration knowing the cost of something
(if it is convenient) but not the VALUE (in this case...long term health of
people that ride bikes and their overall condition compared to auto
commuter, reducing need for fossil fuels... and on and on). The small
amount of funds that create cycling infrastructure is a great VALUE for this
country. Good for security as well as you would have a better conditioned
citizenship (if more folks rode on a regular schedule).
I sent my letter to the secretary! I was civil!

It's amazing that the person responsible for our nation's transportation considers bicycle paths as "not transportation related". Maybe we need to designate them as Homeland Security Paths in order to keep the funding.

Transportation Secretary Mary Peters talks about infrastructure problems and travel initiatives.
More Info
Peters cited "bicycle paths" as a prime example of the waste
Last night on the PBS NewsHour with Jim Leher, DOT Secretary Mary Peters was interviewed by Gwen Ifill.
Peters, when asked about a possible gas tax increase, repeated President Bush's response - No, there can be no tax increase because Congress is wasting the money they already get. Peters cited "bicycle paths" as a prime example of the waste because bicycles are not a transportation use of the gas tax money.
It is disappointing that the administration is attacking Jim Oberstar for his efforts to get the Minneapolis bridge repaired along with raising all the funding for transportation maintenance, by using Oberstar's support for bicycles as a weapon.
The League of American Bicyclists feels strongly that this should not go without a response and we have sent a letter to Secretary Peters voicing our view. Click here to view our response.
For those of you who feel strongly about bicycling issues, we would also urge you to contact the Secretary to share your personal viewpoints.

Dear Ms. Peters
The fact that you cite bicycle use as a waste of transportation dollars
is a demonstration that you are critically out of touch with what America
faces. let me ask you a few questions:
How many Americans are over weight Ms. Peters? How many American are
sedentary? How many of those sedentary and fat Americans are children?
What are the emerging issues in Preventive medicine? Is there a problem
with American dependance on oil? Is there such a thing as global warming?
Have you ever heard of sustainable living practices?
The biggest question is, why are you thinking like it is still 1965?

Dear Ms. Peters

is a demonstration that you are critically out of touch with what
America
faces. let me ask you a few questions:
How many Americans are over weight Ms. Peters? How many American are

What are the emerging issues in Preventive medicine? Is there a problem
