I don't want to comment on any of the political aspects of this tragedy, but did run across this article that I thought some would like. It deals with Rep. Giffords stand on bikes in terms of urban transportation.

Honestly, it really seems the media need to back off. Gabby is going to be a LONG time in recovering and I'm really, really tired of the fighting back and forth.. Red.. Blue.. how bout RED, WHITE, and BLUE.

If this has already been shared, then I'm sorry for the repeat.
