if you have 3 or 4 bikes to carry, the roof rack is the only way to go.
Of course, the bike holders ain't cheap... but still.. beats driving a
truck when you otherwise wouldn't have to. plus it's also useful for
skis, lumber, ladders, etc.

The best use for a bike, of course, is to make a car redundant for
shorter distances where you have the option to ride a bike. I would be
putting a lot of miles and doing most of my errands by pedal. I'd get
3 miles per banana, instead of 1 block for a car (100 calories).

My campaign says, 'BUY LOCALLY, BIKE LOCALLY.'

Bullshit. There is a need for just about everything. I don't think every
suburber ought to be driving an SUV, mind you. (Especially the ones that
don't know how to drive them!) How do you move things like furniture and
take kids to soccer practice.

True communism might work in Heaven, and that's the only place it can
possibly work because we will all be equal and the one person in charge of
it is God. He's perfect and good, not like your Stalin, Mousey Tounge, Pol
Potty and Nobama.

You rent a truck, a real one. Available everywhere.

Otherwise a van does the job so much better.

Good for Heaven but not for Earth?

How will God tame your Heart and your Greed? It must be a tyranny. ;)

I think Heaven is more like communism, while Hell is more like Free
Enterprise.

Where's freedom of choice?
