I damned well know I want to help random people with their bicycle expenses, NOT !

I am a mountain biker. I pay for my mountain bike and upkeep MY DAMN SELF.

[mlsknnr]

It's a total waste of money! If they want to ride a bike they can cover the cost themselves, others whom choose to commute via bicycles don't receive government money and neither should they!

[stormylenk]

Pay for your own damn bikes I am taxed to death and inflation is kicking my butt

[zac]

If some people, such as senior citizens trying to live off of Social Security, are being taxed out of their homes, it only makes sense to use tax payers' money to provide bicycles and accessories to others. 🤪

[edwardstauffer]

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS A BICYCLE GOOD FOR OUT HEAR IN THE COUNTRY 18 miles from anything??? This is redundant!!!!

[robertknutt]

Another example of
You can’t fix stupid !!
Our taxpayer money being squandered by bureaucrats !
🤮🤮🤮

[gorillamanzx]

How the fuck does any of this shit have to do with running the government. I’m so fucking fed up with these fucking politicians.

[frankburau]

How about "walking", should the government pay you for walking?? What A Waste Of Money.

[fighting]

So it's from 1993? That's their best argument?

[Nursebubbe]

Very dangerous in DC traffic. Unbelievable!

[sarabetz]

Just because it got started in 1993 doesn't make it right

[kimberlyhickman]

She says it's unfair!!! What is unfair is the American people can't afford to pay for food, rent house payments, utilities, gas for everyone else who has to drive to work!!! Is this administration going to give everyone free gas to get to work? Absolutely not! So anyone who chooses to ride a bike to work they need to pay for that themselves! We the American people don't pay for how people get to work!!! This is just another slap in our There is only one fair in life and that is a place you go to ride rides, eat good food and see the animals!!! People need to stop using that word because it doesn't exist!!!

[Rozzies]

WTF!! This ain't China!! How many members of Congress ride bikes to work? 😂 🇺🇲💪

[richardmccann]

Since 1993 and wasting all that paperwork, confusion, and money!!!

[sterlingmoore]

It doesn't get any cheaper than riding a bike- but now they want you to pay for them to do it. Freaking children.

We are the land of the free,
Not land of the free stuff.

[nworbydnar]

Lauren Boebert: you are amazing. Thank you for being a voice of the people.
This bicycle stuff is a joke!
A Government subsidy that is a waste of money!!!

[danhill]

Please don't let anyone like Joe Biden try to ride a bike.

[simplecitizen]

How many actually ride a bike to work? Give me a break. Disgusting

[betsyburns]

The American Citizen has to PAY IT'S OWN WAY TO WORK OR ANY OTHER PLACE IT GOES. THE GOVERNMENT WORKERS CAN DO THE SAME!!! THEY ARE BETTER OFF FINANCIALLY THAN MOST NON- GOVERNMENT WORKERS ARE. GET REAL.

[debbyvantwerp]

They can do like the rest of and save money simply by RIDING A BIKE!
