Is the bike an improvement on God's design?

I think the bike is an improvement on God's design. Before, man
depended on the beasts to get around. Even Jesus rode a donkey.
Imagine what Jesus would have done if he had a bike!

Kangaroos hopping are very efficient. * I don't know how they compare to a
bike, but a kangaroo will beat a bike every time over naturally rough
ground.



Which proves that mankind can better itself without help from above.

Kangaroos are produced by evolution. *That is why they are so efficient over
natural ground. * Bikes are mainly designed for smooth man made surfaces
like roads and pedways.

That makes sense because the donkey is not very well thought out...

The bike is the product of intelligent design, the donkey was made
with little attention to comfort and speed.

I think it was a product of God wanting to finish creation in a few
days.

Adam and Eve, just that the terminology is Teflon and cast iron.)

While Teflon wears out, cast iron is "forever," but you have to keep
"curing it"...

In other words, we should live under a permanent state of r-evolution,
making corrections along the way.

It's what made humans out of monkeys. The Christians' creation though
denies evolution both in the past and present. Proof of that is how
they stick to their SUVs in the face of oil crisis, while denying
space to the "smart" bicycles. If they studied life at the time of the
dinosaurs, they'd find out that's a recipe for disaster, which they
call "Armageddon." No more preaching for today.

I don't believe you.

I called that "preaching" because I wrote it on Sunday morning. So
today is Tuesday, and I'm free to say anything...

I think Stupid Unnecessary Vehicles make more sense there.

I don't think a smart vehicle such as the bike can ever become

So someone replies...

I ride over 10,000 miles each year, I can't tell you how many times
I've
heard the line 'cars have the right of way over bikes', or 'bikes
don't
belong on the road', or, my favorite 'bikes should ride _against_ the
flow
of traffic'.

****ing idiots

I'm about to conclude that Christians reject anything "smart" that was
NOT created by God.

SUVs, of course, stand for Stupid Unnecessary Vehicles.

Evolution is a process of construction of new forms. It is blind even
according to Darwinists evolution is a blind process.

Oy, do you have a wrong number! They work the way they do because that is
the way they have evolved. What part of natural selection don't you get?

10 000 whao, have you guys got special lanes there? you won't make 50
here and your a gonner. you'll be lucky if ten taxi's pass you and
very lucky to see 15, you will see no more

Here I've decided to stay off the roads. Waiting for the SUVs to go
the way of the dinosaurs.

They reject to evolve but the world is changing all around them...

GM to close four plants, may unload Hummer line

WILMINGTON, Delaware (Reuters) - General Motors Corp on Tuesday said
it was closing four truck plants and could sell its Hummer brand to
cut slow-selling trucks and SUVs from its lineup in response to higher
gasoline prices the automaker now sees as a permanent threat to its
business.

I think Americans can get smarter, but not THAT Smart...

The tiny car that won over Europeans with its cute looks and very high
mileage is finally coming to America, just not in the way you might
expect it to.

...

Instead, smart USA is betting Americans won't want the small smarts,
at least not yet, and has taken a different strategy: a smart SUV,
available here in 2006. The first press release touts not the mileage
but that it's "loaded with adrenaline — both off road as well as on."

Well, if we are not ready for a Smart car, we won't be ready for a
bike jaunt to the supermarket for a long time...

If you believe all that Darwinist sh*t then you have to accept that
random processes are the only means of producing new forms. Natural
selection does not produce new forms.

Sometimes, though not where I live. I get most of them by commuting. I've
been doing it for about 20 years now (in and around the boston area), and
I've only ever had an incident once, where a driver coming from the opposite
direction took a left right in front of me. I catapulted over the car,
landed headfirst (helmets work), broke my nose and ankle.

I tend to get a bit aggressive in traffic, and have learned to to anticipate
drivers. IF you pretend they don't see you, you're much better off. You need
to _make_ them see you. That is, make a move to take the lane when you need
it, but always with a bit of hesistation, so you can withdraw quickly.

I worked with a women recently who saw me drafting a jeep in traffic
traveling home from work one day. She said to me, "you're just a little bit
crazy, aren't you"

It takes practice commuting in traffic, especially in a city regarded as one
of the least-bicycle friendly in the country. I wouldn't recommend it for
neophyte cyclist.

It all makes sense until you figure the "unknown" out there...

It's not a god, but the only times I come close to praying is when I
see those SUVs pass me within inches while their drivers chat on the
phone, and I just want to come out alive from that harrowing
experience, and promise to myself never to try to go to Heaven, where
those Christians go. In other words, I become a BORN AGAIN
AGNOSTIC...

I think that the Darwinistic sh*t is not something the Christians
believe in... THE PRACTICE IT!
