Protecting air quality, by car onlyNow this is truly outrageous: a local blog called Bikescape has unearthed a Bay Area Air Quality Management District memo banning employees from using bicycles while carrying out their duties of promoting clean air. The memo states, "While biking to work is an option that the District supports, employees are not to ride their bikes in the course of their work duties. The potential for serious injury is much greater when riding a bicycle than driving a car in the event of an accident."
And the potential for dirtier air is much greater if even our air quality officials are required to drive cars.

Talk about irony; wow. Almost the exact same memo was sent to the employees of a "green" planning consulting company in the UK.
