"Do not feed the dinosaur! Ride a bike!"

If you changed it from Emperor rode a donkey to rather the Messiah rode a
donkey the Messiah definitely had more power.
He came back from that beating didn't he.
So cyclists have the power. Use it wisely and peacefully to avoid a
beating.

Hmmm. Maybe I should patent this if it doesn't already exist, but does
anyone make a generator that is integrated with the freewheel or
possibly the derailer? By linking the generation to the pedaling
instead of the wheel, it'd be possible to just pedal backwards and
"freewheel" the power. I suppose you could also build the wheels for
the trailer with hub generators, but I still like the idea that the
trailer cover can power it. I'm surprised most refrigerated cooler lids
don't have panels built in already; maybe I should patent that, too. :-)

Got to make it and if you don't need the energy there's no payback to

Some of you people are totally hopeless. I had a spare solar cell just
sitting around so I hooked it to my 6 volt marine RDF that I sometimes
take with me for some FREE sound. No batteries, ever. Since I don't sit by
the waterfall in the rain I have AM/FM/Marine LF, Marine HF, and even
aircraft band. More entertaining listening in on the 'Heavies' flying over
than an MP3, and it's FREE. Sun is FREE. What don't you understand?
Should I go nuclear????

The idea is to relax at the mid-point of an 80 mile ride. Besides, since
the radio only takes about 1.5 watts at full volume and the solar panel
puts out about 250ma at 6 volts it works just fine. Pedaling for less
than 1 watt is a tad ridiculous. Riding is riding, and relaxing is
laying on the grass, listening to the waterfall and the radio, with the
radio being optional.

I see those types of laws only applying to slow vehicles that take up
the entire lane. IMO, drivers who lack the necessary competence to pass
a cyclist should lose their licences.

Horses stopped doing useful work about 1920.- Hide quoted text -

It doesn't matter. The Christian Fundamentalists (those who interpret
the Bible literally) should ride the same vehicle their boss did: an
ass. Yep, it's in there in the Bible...

John 12:14

"Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,"

and...

Luke 13:15

The Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you know that
SUVs pollute my creation, make oil wars necessary and kill innocent
people who choose smaller vehicles?"

Well, that's not entirely in the Bible, but I'm sure Jesus would have
said it.



And God drove a Plymouth. It says in the bible, "And in his Fury he drove
them out."

Bicycles just slow down roads and make us invest a whole lot more.
