1. Hoo boy!

I believe TREK is still a Wisconsin company, right? One of the biggest bicycle manufacturers, provider of many jobs, payer of taxes, etc. I can just see how happy mom and dad are when they go into WalMart and buy a $50 kid's bike, plus $25 tax. Guy sure knows how to stick it to the working class.

2. Thanks for the tidbit..

Freaking idiots are unbelievably stupid..

3. Didn't the Dem who ran against Walker last time

have a connection to a bicycle company?

Maybe Trek was her family business?

That would be petty even for Walker to do that.

8. Yes

Mary Burke ran against Scott Walker in 2014. She is the daughter of one of the founders of TREK, and she was part of TREK management. I guess that could be why Walker is hostile toward bicycles and the people who buy them.

4. That will teach Burke to run against him.

That is mostly what this is all about.

5. Bizarre decisions. For many of my neighbors, tho, political thought has degraded to a conviction

that if Democrats are for it, it is bad. By definition, no need to run it through the left brain. They would approve Walker's fight to protect our nation from bicycle infiltration.

6. Will Wisconsin voters ever learn?

Vote the Bum out!

7. here is opportunity for new "we buy & sell used bikes" store front for stolen bikes.

as if craigs lists of thousands of 'used bikes' each day wasn't enough.

9. All new bicycles would include kid's bikes, apparently.

On top of the regular sales tax. Nice, Scotty.
