Harry Reid Takes On the Great Issue of Our Day . . . Bike Paths! | The Weekly Standard
9-15-11
Senate majority leader Harry Reid was in full form this morning, taking on the great issue of our day . . . bike paths!
Harry Reid: "Well, for most Americans, [bike paths] are absolutely important. It's good for purposes of allowing people to travel, um, without burning all the fossil fuel on the highways. I got up this morning really early, and went out and did my exercise. I'm not exaggerating--scores!--at least 30 or 40 bikes--so scores may be a slight exaggeration--of people, not just for exercise, traveling to work. Backpacks on--they are going to work. That's what bike paths are all about!"
