ATTENTION-Wheelchair Rally (texas)
We will soon be announcing our first monthly wheelchair rally on several roads around Texas as we meet all criteria needed to block Texas hiways just exactly like our other two-wheeled counterparts. We are a two wheeled rider propelled vehicle with a dangerously low top speed,no liability insurance,no turn signals,no horn,no brakelights. Our chairs contain no DOT sanctioned(TAXED) parts to help support the roads we will be clogging up,but hey, its legal so stay tuned for future dates as this will be a serious attempt to show how rediculous it is to allow bikes on roadways with 70 MPH 3 ton steel vehicles. Just like the libs we will take their own laws and beat them over the heads with them. Its the commy way. PS skateboards,rollerblades,push scooters, will all be encouraged to participate. Stay tuned--no spandex required. We will have tax payed police and fire personel to block intersections and feeder roads to make our ride safe and enjoyable. We will probably choose a Saturday morning when no one works or needs the road access to make a living. If they cant make their living in 5 days ,then they can get Obama to get them a shovel ready job smoothing roads for our chairs.We will bunch up in groups (clichs) and string out for miles just like the bikers do. See ya at the rally-I cant wait!!!!!!!

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interes
This was "its" latest screed. There were other posts that got deleted. This jerk thinks that bikers don't pay any taxes therefore we aren't entitled to use roads. Too bad "it" doesn't understand that we ALL pay taxes that benefits everyone's use of roadways. Perhaps he'll get some insight during "its" wheelchair rally.

i.e. to get better access to people in wheelchairs by tying up traffic during a "protest march" of people in wheelchairs.

The roads are paid for by property taxes.
