Now, saying that motor vehicles should have the same rights as pedestrians or cyclists is like saying that water skiers should be allowed on all waters in front of a popular beach. The Highway Code by instigating this non-sensical equality status, that inevitably leads to the law of the jungle, is bunk. It has the same moral standing as the South African Pbutt Law." Sure, go ahead and build your own roads. Use the huge surplus from the otherwise untapped bicycle road use taxes. The Feds can't fund it, because bicycles have no interstate commerce value. State, county, and municipalities can incorporate them as recreational land under eminent domain. They might even be able to sell bonds to fund construction. Be sure to write back and let us know that goes. You need to go elsewhere to find your socialist utopia.

This IS true discrimination

"There's no doubt that car drivers need to clean up their act. No, the answer is to ban cycles from public roads just as they are now banned from interstate highways. |

Anyway, my twin brother KingOfTheApes made an statement such as not to post at least for 24 hours... Well, forget about it. I, ComandanteBanana, made such a great contributions to the ideas of THE REVOLUTION, that I'm posting over my brother's foolish statements. Anyway, the VolksBike would be simple and cheap, possibly under $200 for the proles... Good thing though this NOT a Marxist revolution, so we can afford a middle class, a rather large one like in Sweden or something, just that the real big fish will be taxed to control their uncontrolled appetites. So this middle class could afford luxuries like the "cooperative made" "American made" recumbents, which are more laid back to go with the social status. They are perfectly fine to replace the automobile for shorter distances while still giving you a nice workout. No more bellies as a result of being couch potatos.
