Wait wait wait. Shabazz Palaces? Do they actually "pick" anything?
There is a huge jump from wanting to eat cake after watching it on TV to wanting to kill after seeing it on TV. Eating cake or playing poker are not nearly as against our morals as pulling out a gun and using it.
There's a prius in my neighborhood that has the sticker that says "...and what have YOU done?" This reminds me of that, and it makes me angry.
First, the bike counter was funded by a donation from Cycle Oregon. Your tax dollars had nothing to do with this. Second, while it would be awesome to have the Amsterdam infrastructure here in Portland, I believe that the people making the changes here are realistic enough to know that's not going to happen. They are merely trying to make it easier for people to get around on bike. Of course ridership is going to decrease in the winter. I rode the bus today because it would have been a miserable ride to work. However, getting more people out in the summer is just as important.
But damn! 4000 trips! That's 4000 cars off the road so that your sorry butt can get to work 30sec quicker each day.
We've given downtown to the drunken douchebags already, why should it matter now? Let them get their rage on there.

This "family-style" of brunch needs to stop. Those are my waffles, and nobody is going to be eating them but me.
