But some are pedal assisted which could be excellent for some people. I don't want you folks to get the impression that I'm against bike facilities, but we won't have them for a long while. Whatever money is being dumped into it, goes to short unconnected bike lanes good nothing. I think our bureaucracy is totally incapable of doing anything practical other than feeding themselves. LET'S TAKE THE LANE WORLDWIDE, and the days of the monopolistic lion will be over.

YOU GOT NOTHING TO LOSE BUT YOUR CHAINS. Public transportation takes a bureaucracy, and that is indeed possible and desirable, as we can see in the case of Curitiba...

Why do I sue > authorities to take back obligations to use cycle paths? For people like > you? Listen, I'm COMANDANTE BANANA, which means I'm the boss of the revolution. I'm all for "ideas" from Germany, Holland, etc, but not exactly your regulations. The ANARCHIST CYCLIST riding fast belongs on the road, but I'd mandate the car to CLEAR THE LANE 30' BEFORE AND AFTER, so the cyclist and the car can share the road safely. I'm for borrowing ideas from Curitiba when it comes to public transportation, so we will put in place the best solutions out there, even if only in our mind. ;) And I can name you sub-comandante for Germany.. |
