Congress Calls On President To Act on Bicycle Problem

From the BOB-List

(AP) Citing the steeply rising cost of high quality bicycle gruppos, Congress called on the president to take action to bring down the cost of high quality bicycles for ordinary Americans. "The cost of bicycles for the American public is an issue of national security", Senator Charles Schumer stated. "What we have not heard from the President is a clear plan to make sure reasonably priced bicycles are affordable to all Americans." President Bush issued an order to immediately halt the federal stockpiling of vintage bicycle parts for the Strategic Bicycle Reserve. Experts believe this will have only a minimal impact on the cost of good bicycles for the average commuter.
