Which Side Are You On, the Lion Or the Monkey?
ComandanteBanana wrote:
I'm going to paraphrase from this Ralph Nader email I got, "Which Side Are You On?"... the Lion or the Monkey, which is to say the SUVs or the bicycles? By the way, is Nader for the cyclists? I don't think any candidate is. Monkeys don't count that much. But I remember Ralph used to be concerned about car safety... Well perhaps he's really for the monkeys... Which Side Are You On? If you believe that the Democratic Party is the answer to what ails us as a nation, Who's this "US" paleface? |

We, as in "WE THE PEOPLE..." Are we protected by the Constittution in any way? |

blowing the horn is similar to the lion's roar
Have you ever tried to figure out what's in a horn?
"Get a superloud bike horn, and honk back!" I like this. But won't they take it as a personal insult too? I think their blowing the horn is similar to the lion's roar. They expect you to fold and go. Imagine what the lion would do if you roar back to him! |

Did you know they call NYC the "Asphalt Jungle"?
And it ain't because I'm picking on NYC because the same thing is
happening in my city or any other American city. But bad reputations are hard to get rid of... 'Riding in NYC is pretty scary. Many people are driving without a license and/or without insurance, and that's not even touching on all the trucks and vans speeding along making deliveries and not really giving a damn about who's around them. Most drivers are extremely aggressive and subconsciously, they drive in attack mode. They will only think of the consequences after they hit you, and even though you may have been "right" , you're already in the hospital or dead. I learned my lesson by seeing too many accidents already.........I simply assume that most drivers are going to try and speed through a fresh red light or that a car door will swing open without someone looking to see if anything is coming.' http://www.dahon.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4088 |

It's the lycra types that give a bad name to cycling

Monkeys are well known for throwing **** at passers by and making lots of noise. Perhaps that explains some of the posts from bike riders? Perhaps yall may now have some grasp of the thinking of a longtailed cat, in a room full of rocking chairs? Gunner The monkeys --sorry the cyclists-- you are talking about are the ones in lycra. They are much noiser than the commuter type. And don't eat peanuts. True indeed Most commuter types are interested in surviving to make it home, or to work. Its the lycra'd "purists" and endorphine addicts that are the biggest problem. Those and the homeless drunks/druggies that have to resort to a second hand store Huffy to make their rounds as they lost their DLs years ago. Hum...sometimes its hard to tell them apart, but for the clothing. I'm in another forum (Dahon foldables) where, I assure you, their members are civilized people. But the Huffy type ride mostly the sidewalks and back alleys. It's the lycra types that give a bad name to cycling. |

Lycra causes brain damage.
Stay home and hide from cars. |

I'm on the side of the lions.
Monkeys EAT bananas, leaving you none to command. Be afraid. Be very afraid. |

Who needs safety statistics? One person on the Dahon forum fears
riding in New York City, so it must be the most dangerous place on the planet to ride a bike. Be afraid. We have nothing to fear but the lack of fear itself. |
