- Since I'm in Texas, I'm not familiar with College Avenue. However, the
- tone of your comments just don't mesh with the society that I live in.
- Cyclists have every right to use virtually every city street in the
- state (except freeways and short stretches of certain roads in the
- Dallas area). You have just as much right to tell the cyclists to
- stay off any particular road as I have telling some farmer to get his
- tractor off the roads I cycle on (ie NONE).
