You guys can each thank Luke yourselves for not being allowed to ride the games anymore. Ya, I heard they used a picture of Luke’s 1st Dirt Cab as an example of what a “wagon” pedicab is.

It seems to be alluding to a threat of some sort. "Again. . . You people need a hobby. I just found you something to keep you occupied for a while. You'll know what it is soon enough. By the way, my "homeboy" in my business partner, I did speak at the commission, and the conclusions you keep coming to are hilarious!" - Chris Nielson Just wanted to post a quote from Chris here that I found on the KVUE website in reply to other comments.

I agree with you that the benefits to tax payers, and stake holders far outweigh the detriments. We "blue collar" professional cyclists are a resilient group. It is just a sad thing when some of my brothers and sisters are put out of work due to changes in technology. Certainly this is not a new trend. Fortunately there are still jobs out there for people who want to make their living pedaling a bicycle. -Ken Judge Mike,

My campaign for Judge was based, in part, of my sensitivity to the effects of my rulings on individuals. However, I believe that the long term upside of e-filing (tax savings, efficiency, smaller environmental footprint (not just paper, but reduced toner use), productivity, eventual cost savings for litigants) outweighs the downside for messengers, etc. I wanted to make it clear that I am not insensitive to your losses. I wonder what you have done in Travis County which has mandatory e-filing in all courts.
