Default Cyclist at war!

(remember that project of the VW?)

Just thinking about that successful project of the VW, supposed a true
pro-bike revolutionary government (that stops that cheap competition
from communist China) comes to power and wants to build a bike for the
masses...

OK, this is what is what it would look like...

1- Aluminum frame (rust free to take the weather)

2- No derailleur (it sounds like French and it would be less
complicated)

3- Single speed (for greater workout, which leads to healthy masses)

4- Union made (for greater mass participation)

5- Recycled from SUVs (to show there's no more room for junk)...

So what do you think of the VB project, and would you buy one?

I like the idea of revolutions starting from the ground (pavement? )

I sounds like a good foundation for the revolution!

Volks-Bikes and Bike Lanes all over the place.

Whatever I am, I'm glad to be me and not you.
After all, I'm a /real/ bike rider, and not a
phony who's out to prevent would-be bike riders
from hitting the streets.

I find it notable that my acknowledgement of your
delusions has drawn such ire from you. I wish
you luck in dealing with your issues.


You are such a well behaved sheep that will blend in the wolf in

I dunno - what do YOU think of the Buell 1125R?

(Hint: this has long ago ceased to be of interest to rec.motorcycles.)

Bicycle lanes are separate and unequal facilities.


Why unequal, dummy? Just separate but equal.

This IS true discrimination...

"There's no doubt that car drivers need to clean up their act. Taking
speed limits down to 20mph in built-up areas will make the roads safer
for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians alike. Enforcing the ban on
mobile phone use will help drivers become more attentive. And applying
the Highway Code more strictly will make many people think twice about
engaging in the current bully-boy hierarchy of bigger is better.
...

Now, saying that motor vehicles should have the same rights as
pedestrians or cyclists is like saying that water skiers should be
allowed on all waters in front of a popular beach. The Highway Code by
instigating this non-sensical equality status, that inevitably leads
to the law of the jungle, is bunk. It has the same moral standing as
the South African Pbutt Law."


Sure, go ahead and build your own roads. Use the huge surplus from the
otherwise untapped bicycle road use taxes. The Feds can't fund it, because
bicycles have no interstate commerce value. State, county, and
municipalities can incorporate them as recreational land under eminent
domain. They might even be able to sell bonds to fund construction. Be sure
to write back and let us know that goes. You need to go elsewhere to find
your socialist utopia. Try Canada.

What about the wolves who don't wear sheeps clothing, run with the
sheep and wolves and manipulate both to their will??? No clue (why am
I not surprised) Those wolves are called alpha wolves and there are
even Wolves over them...it's good to be THE wolf and not just another
alpha wolf. It's the same whether a push bike or a motorcycle, all do
my will. Even when they don't know they are being manipulated.

Well isn't that a given? I thought everyone, even those without wolves
understood that. Bugger them if they get in the way.

That Joe may be for McCain, but Joe the Cyclist must be for Obama.
Statistically speaking at least.

How many sensible bicycle riders could be voting for McCain when all
he promises is "more drilling"? Obama too but he got the drill from
McCain.
