=====================
I was talking with Tom. I swear for every one million Tom Boonen fans there
must be at least one Dave Zabriskie fan...and I made sure that I pointed
each one out to him yesterday. Yes, I was really appreciating the fans, they
really helped me get through on a day like that.

But then Boonen comes up with this line. He says, "See those cows over
there? That's what happens when cyclist's die. They turn into cows."
=====================

I dunno. *Look at the manure in rec.bikes.* and you'd think they've
already turned into cows.

Yep, but SUVs have their share too. They sure are milking cows to the
Big Three.

That is hardly the norm for Washington County.

Don't see many of those at church time. But I've seen them around like
this...

1. Agreed. I stated my preference as an attack on the stereotype
that Republicans are gas-guzzlers and Democrats are not.

2. There's not enough serious year-round bicycle riders in WI to be
characteristic of any group, other than of bike riders themselves.
Months like December just past are brutal enough to insure that there
will never be more than a %age handful of year round bike commuters.

3. You could name and characterize my home County but I sure can't
name yours. Where is Holstein -Friesland Bovinia? In WI, there is a
New Holstein but no Holstein that I'm aware of. There's a Friesland
in Columbia county, maybe 100 or so miles from New Holstein. I'm
aware of no Bovinia at all. I can't make heads or tails of the name
you gave.

I saw a BMW X5 SUV with an "Impeach Bush" sticker on southbound I-43,
but it may have been driven by a libertarian.

The only place I see a lot of commuters is downtown. There are mostly
club, racer in training and exercise cyclists in places like Fox Point,
River Hills, The Falls and Mequon. A few brave (considering how people
drive) cyclists are seen in the 'hood.

The "Holstein-Friesland Bovinia" is a joke based on the rural scenery in
the southern part of the state being predominated by pastures with black
and white dairy cows. I currently live in the Milwaukee area, but have
also lived in Madison and the SW "driftless area".

Or merely a fiscal conservative - look at the deficit and the value of
the dollar compared to other currencies. Under Bush, the U.S. has gone
down the tubes.

=v= I think that depends on the cyclist. H.G. Wells has
pointed out that cycle tracks will abound in Utopia, so
there is surely a veloway in Heaven.

Oh, that's hell then ...

I do live in a blue state but am a Christian Republican myself. And
if I have to drive, I prefer my 16 year old Dakota pickup that gets 23
MPG.


The blue state predominates over your party affiliation and driving
choices. It's like having Republicans in Key West (a blue town), where
biking still is practiced.

Someone in a German cycling newsgroup recently asked whether cycling is
allowed on the Overseas Highway. Is it?
