ACK, I think the use of automobiles should be restricted to company
campusses and gated communities ... Very smart, that guy.


Right, a "toy" for the upper crusts in gated communities, to be kept
away from the mundane people in unfriendly neighborhoods,

Talk about "democracy"... ?

Golf carts. *But they're not very fast, which evokes the
question: does speed capability enhance safety? *I suspect
the opposite is true, but I'm afraid I can't prove it right

Good point. I think you hit the nail by accident (since you don't seem
to be that smart).


At least I know of which postings to threadedly respond.

And the whole world's onto your anti-bicycling game and
fearmongering campaign, but you're too blindly
dough-headed to realize it.

Pack it in yer suitcase.

I guess if you pop your head outa yer ass, and you see your
shadow, we'll get at least six more weeks of your bull****.

Nothing is safe from you.

The world better watch out for dimwitted people like you.

Or do you have an agenda? Maybe it's malice after all.
