My employer is located in Madison, WI but I live about twenty miles from where I work. Madison is a GORGEOUS city with the lakes and beautiful downtown. They have made a large effort to make the entire city navigable by bicycle to keep up with it's "green" image.
Now I'm going to tell you how stupid this "green" thing has gotten. I'm driving up Dane County Hwy PD in a group of about 30 vehicles. One guy on a bike waiting to cross hits a button and our now green light becomes red so he can cross.
