In MoBikeFed's most recent newsletter, MBF President Brent Hugh wrote:
On our recent family vacation, we covered about 3000 miles by car and a few hundred miles by bicycle in seven states. As I do every time I return from such a trip, the moment we crossed the state line back into Missouri, I had to ask myself, “What is WRONG with this state?”

If you haven't been out of state for a while you might have forgotten, so let me remind you:

* Roads in other states, especially interstate freeways and major highways, are not cracked to pieces and filled with potholes and bumps. Most roads in other state are s-m-o-o-t-h.

* Almost all major roads and streets in other states have shoulders (or bicycle lanes) and, in urban areas, sidewalks.
