New York Legislator Says Bicycles And Motorcylists Should Not Be On the Roads

A LEGISLATOR has sparked controversy, saying motorcycles and bicycles don’t belong in his County.

Thomas F. Barraga, 70, a member of the Suffolk County Legislature in New York, made remarks regarding his opinion on two-wheelers when replying to 17-year-old Matthew Cutrone.

Cutrone wrote to Barraga after his mother had been knocked off of her bicycle by a car driver who wasn't paying attention, suggesting: “there should be some sort of bike lane or maybe even just some warning signs to put around in certain areas so that drivers can know when to be careful of bicyclists.”

Some people get grumpy when they turn 70. I think that this is the only reason he doesn't want <a href="http://www.evolutioncycles.co.nz">bicycles</a> and motorbikes on the road!
