Right-Wing Libertarians Attack Bike Sharing

Right-wing libertarian think tanks like Reason choose to go after the little guys getting a small piece of the government pie while ignoring the government-subsidized big players like the fossil fuel industry. This makes sense considering the climate change-denying, oil-rich Koch Family Foundation partly funds Reason. 

Now Reason TV and washed up former MTV VJ Kennedy are bullying bike sharing, in this case the wildly successful Capital Bikeshare program in the Washington, D.C. area. A recent video report makes a mockery of the Capital Bikeshare program as a wasteful subsidy for rich educated white kids.
