A cruel joke

It is April Fool's Day, and we are in the San Diego area. We have seen and talked to lots of roadies down here, and it seems like a lot of them (on the weekend) were doing a long bike ride on the coast - and then taking the train home. Can you imagine it WI? Ride from Madison to Milwaukee (or vice versa, or some part of that canceled route), have a beer/coffee and a meal - then take the train home, with your bike on board with you? (They had hooks to hang them, some trains have room to leave them standing up, and on big rides they would actually add a train car to take the large number of bikes.) Looks like an awesome way to use the commuter train on the weekend, eh?

But the geniuses in control of WI state govt since the 2010 Tea Party Revolution canceled "the choo choo" to appease the most closed-minded members of their constituency. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
Moving WI "Forward"?
I don't think so.

What a cruel joke on us, to see how awesome the people here in general, and cyclists in particular, have it with their mix of infrastructure (and to think how close we were to joining them).
