Bicycle Board Members,
Any comments that I should pass
on to Bill Robinson on these 3 bridge projects?

Cyclists fare best when they
act and are treated as drivers of vehicles

"The life of
the artist is, in relation to his work, stern and lonely. He has labored hard,
often
amid depravation, to perfect his skill. He has turned aside from quick success
in
order
to strip his vision of everything secondary or cheapening. His working life is
marked
by intense application and intense discipline." - John F. Kennedy, 1962
