It's what 'D' locks are for!

I most heartily recommend the Abus Granit X-Plus 54 300mm D lock as a three pound hammer substitute. Among its options is a handy quick release clamp which you can mount just under the seat where your hand falls on it naturally when an SUV comes too near. Mine is 300mm/12in, is the right length to give you a good swing, and also long enough to fit around Big Apple tyres and the spread of tubes to contain them; the shorter 230mm version is good for road bikes and suchlike.

LOL.

I was at the World Prius Parade two weeks ago. The joke was that the
freeways were all moving much faster since there were less Priuses doing
hypermiling.

The good news is that I have both visited the Guinness brewery AND I've
participated in breaking a Guinness World Record.

The bad news is that we still have a Prius in our driveway. I do not
like that car. I did not want that car. But SWMBO wanted it for that
lovely Green HOV lane sticker. And I have to admit that that sticker is
very nice to have

especially in southern California where the HOV lanes are 24/7.

? maybe in WI....here P drivers are small morphs of slight build...hitting one doesn't come up. prob kill it.

The P's run past me n I have the op to speak with them abt the silence prob as I'm at their destination near my garage.

They exhibit a regretful contriteness, weary that the world's gross consumption of energy n lack of discipline forced them into a Prius yet slightly snotty having made the right choice.

maybe

depends on the intended victim

I find it somehow a typical American myth that an electric car is
somehow going to alleviate global warming, a problem that essentially
has very little to do with automobiles :-)

Americas who are not USians)

electric cars en masse would centralize individual vehicle hydrocarbon emissions ...look that up one of those gee whiz its megatonnage... and there controlled with industrial processes not functional out in the field.

there are lab working biological devices for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen
