Dear Editor,
    Re: "Bicycle Dreams" [News, Feb. 5]: Please don't frame the debate about infrastructure for two-wheelers around red herrings like cyclists who don't follow road rules (that are written for cars) nor development issues that will rise or fall independent of two-wheeled commuters. Give cyclists a chance; give them the route they need down Nueces. If Austin thinks it can be progressive without improved bicycle thoroughfares, it's mistaken, big time.
