The Chainlink

Thanks to all who read, shared, and commented on yesterday's post on Chicago Now entitled Rahm Dedicates Dearborn Bike Lane to Dozens of "Little Bike People".  That was only the beginning of my efforts to refute the lunacy that goes by the name of John Kass.

Today's post parodies his demands to register bikes and license riders by comparing it to the gun control debate

Thanks to all who read my Chicago Now post and took to the discussion. 

I've been a supporter of The Chainlink since I started my blog and rely on it for taking the pulse of area cyclists.  I have just recently started using the forum for soliciting feedback on what to write about.  My hope is that I can reach beyond the cycling community with Chicago Now and start bringing more of our issues to the public.

I apologize if this thread devolved into an off-topic discussion.  My intention was to draw a contrast with our scrutiny and the lack of scrutiny for something that has shown to be a bigger problem to society than running a red light and spooking a Tribune columnist.  I tried to separate the cycling point from my own view on gun control and was mainly looking to see if anyone else saw the irony in how our group of one-percenters is perceived against another group with similar membership.

Upon request, I'll close the discussion.  

My goal isn't to divide, it's to gain consensus on cycling topics to make my posts stronger.  I'm always open to discussion and debate about anything I've posted whether it's in the comments section at Chicago Now or via email.
