govtrack.us is pretty fascinating. How else would I have found out that my representative Earl Blumenauer had introduced the following bills:

H.R. 4946: To suspend temporarily the duty on bells designed for use on bicycles
H.R. 4945: To suspend temporarily the duty on variable speed hubs (except 2- and 3-speed)
H.R. 4944: To suspend temporarily the duty on nesoi hubs
H.R. 4943: To extend the temporary suspension of duty on brakes designed for bicycles
H.R. 4942: To extend the temporary suspension of duty on crank-gear and parts thereof
H.R. 4941: To extend the temporary suspension of duty on bicycle wheel rims
H.R. 4940: To extend the temporary suspension of duty on sets of steel tubing for bicycle frames
H.R. 4939: To extend the temporary suspension of duty on unicycles
H.R. 4938: To extend the temporary suspension of duty on child carriers, chain tension adjustors,...
H.R. 4937: To extend the temporary suspension of duty on bicycle speedometers

Blumenauer is definitely in the pocket of pernicious cycling interests.

Earl Blumenauer is definitely one of my favorite members of Congress. I grew up in his district. I also like Peter DeFazio (who represents the district I now live in).
