Is the bike an improvement on God's design?

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. |

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 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 |

SUVs, of course, stand for Stupid Unnecessary Vehicles. |

They work the way they do because that is the way they have evolved. What part of natural selection don't you get? |

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. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080603/ts_nm/gm_dc |

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." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5217861/ 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... |

BORN AGAIN AGNOSTIC

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... |
