Utah bicycling groups and Democrats call on Mitt Romney to rethink his comments calling bike lanes 'the height of stupidity'
"We invite you to join any of us for a bike ride to highlight the value of functional bike infrastructure in Utah," they wrote, calling his views"both inaccurate regarding emissions and hurtful to the exploding number of Utahns who opt to travel by bicycle."
"I love Mitt," Schatz told Insider recently in the Capitol."I don't want to get in a public fight with him because he's one of the Republicans that I admire the most, but he's just flat wrong on substance here." Schatz argued that cities and states put bicyclists and other micro-mobility users in an increasingly untenable position by failing to provide safe and adequate infrastructure. He called Romney's argument that bike lanes increase emissions"wacky."
Rep. Earl Blumenauer, an Oregon Democrat and one of Congress' biggest biking advocates, told Insider this week that Romney's comments don't make sense. He added,"I've been working with bike lane construction all my career, and I've heard the complaints and the arguments that they're concerned about congestion or damaged property. And then in a matter of months, people are putting in their real estate advertisements that it's next to a bike lane.
