Oprah Doesn‚t Do Outlaw Bikers

It appears that the proposed Oprah Winfrey piece on banning bikes in cities has been axed. The original link has been removed, and a replacement one has been put in the Œkilled‚ section of the site: http://www.oprah.com/tows/intheworks/killed/tows_works_bike.html

Presumably, all the negative feedback from cyclists had some impact.
