Trying to avoid Climate Catastrophe? Ride a Bike!
You may be waiting for Jesus or for our leaders to sign waterdown
climate proposals, but there's nothing like riding a bike. You just substitute your car for a bike when going to the supermarket, and voila! YOU ARE IN THE REVOLUTION! Did I say "revolution"? Yeah, forcing change on a system that denies evolution sounds like revolution to me. Perhaps more important than all Eastern Bloc revolutions that ended communism and its lack of choices. After all, what's more important than avoiding Climate Catastrophe while advocating CHOICES? Whoever said, "FREEDOM IS RIDING A BIKE!"? Well, it's not voting for the old politics... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 3 C's of successful monkeys...

Or should I say the "lane"? Hey, that calls for yet another t- shirt... "Not only you put your life on the line, but you put your life on the traffic lane for the Revolution! Yes, take the lane!"

Banana you have given me the topic for an extended blog post. opusthepoet.wordpress.com Hey Opus, it almost reads like my "Welcome to the Jungle... if you dare!" http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote Witch on a BicycleFront Page About Opus Another quiet Feed July 12, 2009 · 1 Comment Ahh, Sunday! the day when the Feed is normally at it’s quietest. There are fewer reports of death and dismemberment but more politics a word derived from poly meaning many and tics meaning bloodsuckers, AKA many little bloodsuckers. I kid, somewhat. First up is a strange wreck of an experienced transportational cyclist. Police say longtime cyclist and advocate for using bicycles killed in Cary collision and Cyclist Dies After Getting Hit By Car also Bicyclist killed in accident This is so strange, I just can’t see this guy getting killed unless the other vehicle was trying to beat the red light while he was making his left turn on the yellow. A wreck that was a cross between the Council head on crash from last year and the drunk driver trying to take out cyclists a few weeks ago. 1 Dead, 2 injured in car-bike accident According to a person claiming to be a witness to the wreck the driver went across 2 lanes of traffic and onto the opposite shoulder to hit the 3 cyclists and then back to his side of the road to where he was stopped later. This is not a wreck you can avoid with anything other than luck. I’m sorry but the mode and the closing speed makes this the kind of wreck that Juno Fortuna decides the outcome. And if you don’t know Juno Fortuna, Google it. An OH cyclist is mugged for being a cyclist. Another cyclist attacked in Toledo They spit on him and then stopped the car and beat him up, and didn’t even bother to rob him. I would say that comes about as close to a hate crime against a cyclist as I have ever seen. And in VA a report on the cyclist rally to reduce the speed limit on a very dangerous road. Cyclists rally, calling for safer Shore Drive If you think this headline is familiar they used it for the pre-rally story from earlier this week. Notice the comments of the entitled car- heads complaining about how entitled the cyclists are acting, irony being lost on them. And that’s all I have today. Billed @$.02, Opus |
