Divorce Your Car --and get into a relationship with a Bike!

But does traffic actually move faster than a bicycle? In chicago it doesn't when 6 inches is on the ground. I colleage from Westchester was in Syracuse and dreaded leaving an office at 5:00 to head towards home. He didn't want to sit in traffic. I told him not to worry about Syracuse's Rush Quarter-Hour. Seldom to these places have traffic tie-up that would have a bike going faster than a car. A big part of that is because "no one" lives in those cities anymore. Everyone uses the expressway and commutes. So the only tie up is on the way to the on-ramp. Am rutinely in traffic that is slower than I ride, driving or bicycling. This morning a traffic light defaulted to a stop sign. Huge backup as drivers don't know wtf to do... I could have biked to work faster using the back roads with nothing but stop signs. Trouble was I was I was past the point of no return before I saw the backup thanks to the way the roads are designed. |

Isn't that what you wanted? Then you are free to go out with that sexy lady you met in the bicycle. And she will save you from a couch potato life in which you were bound to have a heart attack in 3 years. As for the alimony, whatever you saved in insurance, you know, consider it a loss. |

He would cut it up into 132 pieces, eat 10, and bring the rest home 3 at a time. Either that or simply don't kill the deer. Just set up a trap and then have him walk with you properly attached with a rope to the back of your bicycle. |

Jack May wrote: "Pat" wrote in message ups.com... And interesting and incomplete analysis. You forgot something. How do you (or your teenager) make out on the back seat of a bike. That is evolution in action. Weeding out the failures in society like donquijote1954 Don't say that. Just call me the "Black Sheep." You know why they were expelled??? HOW THE BLACK SHEEP WERE EXPELLED One day the Lion, who had been thinking how to best eat the sheep, decided to dress as one of them... This way the common sheep trusted the new sheep more and more every day, some confessing to him, others voting for him, and most allowing to be fleeced by him... Meanwhile, the Black Sheep--who was able to see through camouflage--thought this way: "If he got big paws and teeth, and takes the lion's share, lion he is..." And that's the reason why from then on the Black Sheep weren't allowed to mingle anymore with the simple and common sheep... |

Too expensive in the cost of time. Very few people can afford to use a bike. More likely than not they are either afraid, or simply have given much thought to it. Remember, the sheep follow the herd, and the herd follows the SUV commercials. How much do you sins cost you? |

Cheaper than confessing my sins and paying 10% of my salary to the church. |

My sins are on the cheap by now. No tobacco or even alcohol. Cheaper than confessing my sins and paying 10% of my salary to the church. I hear you. I should also add we cannot afford not to ride a bike. The energy crisis has cost millions of innocent lives because people are stupid enough to go to war to fill their gas tanks. |
