"... * Nancy Bernstein, a vice president for a Long Beach community garden and
former science teacher, said she was taken on an 8-mile high-speed ride
by her 2007 Prius while she was following her husband in a group bicycle
tour in Wisconsin. She said her Prius accelerated from 45 mph to 75 mph
on a winding, two-lane highway crowded with 100 cyclists. ..."
