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

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.





Maybe the redesigned grounds at OSH will allow for bike paths, otherwise
I take the trams whenever possible...


I agree. Use the trams. There's enough congestion that I think bikes
would just lead to people getting run over. Plus, do you think you
wouldn't be frustrated trying to navigate a bike through the crowd of
pedestrians? It's bad enough WALKING through the crowds. Still, it's
the best gig going and you can certainly protest by not renewing, but
then again, who is being stubborn?
