(remember that project of the VW?)

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? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY THE BANANA REVOLUTION?

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 sheep's clothing. |

This IS true discrimination
"ComandanteBanana" wrote in message ... On Oct 20, 9:03 pm, Tom Sherman wrote: I've said BIKE LANES, TAME TRAFFIC, OR GO TO HOLLAND, but you are just picking up on the first one. 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. |

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. -- Keith |

Whatever political differences
(Whatever political differences MAY be between bikers and bicyclists,
is explained here) Originally Posted by gcottay 'In the United States.

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. |
