It appears that the inventor of the bicycle umbrella neglected that if
the cyclist attains normal forward speeds, much rain will still hit the
cyclist from the front.

If I had proper ground level storage, I would get on of these:

Actually I find America ripe for NATION BUILDING, and there's even
enough ground for the UN Peacekeeping Forces to land right here...


Uh, would that be north America, central America, or south America?

None of the above. It's a lawless region south of Canada but north of
Mexico. Sort of a Bermuda Triangle for bicycles and small vehicles...

1- There's evidence of WMDs.


2- A strongman in power.


3- Too much violence on our roads.


4- Too many terrorists behind the wheel of SUVs.


It's either that or the revolution.


It's a good thing for you that morons are still able to post to

Yeah, doc, morons not only can post to Internet, [...]


They can ride bikes,too!
What a great country, eh ****-wit?-


Yep, the winos and a few daredavils still ride on the roads.

Others are smart enough to know that in a collision between an SUV and
a bike, the bike "usually" loses...


POLICE NEWS: Man on bicycle struck by SUV, suffers life-threatening
injuries

Wednesday, December 12, 2007

By Emily Ingram

Tribune-Herald staff writer

A 60-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries after he was
struck by a sport utility vehicle while riding his bicycle Tuesday
evening in Waco, police said.

The man, Ignacio Acosta- Puente, was riding his bike west on Franklin
Avenue about 5:55 p.m. when he was struck by a black Honda SUV going
north on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Waco police Sgt. Ryan Holt
said. A second, minor wreck happened as traffic abruptly stopped after
the man was struck.

At the time of the accident, it was dark and raining, Holt said. At
least one vehicle hit the man, he said.

Acosta-Puente was taken to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, where he
was in critical condition at 9:30 p.m., a hospital spokeswoman said.

An accident reconstruction team was investigating Tuesday night, Holt
said.

True, but car crash test ratings are as about as worthless as a random
statistic.

So far if I were to bet who'd come out alive in a collision between
SUV and bicycle, I'd bet on the SUV.

Regrettably bicycling remains a "blood sport."

Well, it's that country engaged in nation building abroad, but not at
home. It's a show of communism called "internationalism," in which the
people of one country sacrifice for others, so "the cause" gets
advanced. The cause is that of consumerism, in which the little people
with bikes count little, since they consume little.

It practices something called "democracy" or "hypocrisy," or something
that rhymes with it. Without further ado, here it is...

(deep thought collectionists, take note)

"Democracy in America gives you the freedom to chose among 25 models
of SUVs, but not the freedom to ride a bike"...

Yet another thing happening in the jungle...

http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/play...26713&src=news

We recently were involuntary witness to street racing in which we were
passed at speeds over 100MPH --right on the regular street. Survival
in the jungle is just another miracle.
