Default The EAA should allow us to use our folding bikes at Airventure

When I was at Oshkosh a couple years back it I recall the even the
relatively few 'official' golf cars were at times a problem where traffic
was thick. When you've got that huge mass of walking traffic, of various
ages and paces, having vehicles mixed in (bicycles included) is problematic
and possibly dangerous.

I walked the whole thing and built some impressive blisters, but I don't
mind getting some good excercise every once in a while. If I recall
correctly, don't they also have motorized carts/trams to move people from
one area to another, should they need an assist? I know they do at SNF.

I'm really tired of their stubborness about this issue. Airventure is
the one place a folding bike would be invaluable. But instead, they
insist we walk with no assist over the huge area of the fly-in.
As a result of their turning a deaf ear to requests for change, I'm
not renewing my membership or attending their fly-ins.
SNF is just as stubborn. With the cost of fuel, they are going to have
enough trouble getting an adequate turnout of sport planes at their
gathering in OSH, maybe now is time to turn the screws on them and
pressure them to change so of those draconian rules.
