Sorry Ed, but most USians need to work full time even if they just want
to eat a subsistence diet and have a place to live. Cheap housing
(boarding houses, etc) have disappeared, and even a 150 square foot room
with shared kitchen and bathroom is not that cheap. The same could be
said for a liver and sauerkraut [1] diet.
Mr. Ed Dolan is sadly divorced from the contemporary real world.
[1] Reportedly the least expensive nutritionally adequate diet.

Wise Tibetan Monkey is smart enough NOT to ride a bike until the other
monkeys come out. Where are they?
We will take the lane as it was meant to be. No species is better than
us just because they are bigger.

While the Dutch are happily riding bikes, here people is talking BS
about whether or not you need separate facilities. It's simple: the
Dutch way or give the whole fucking lane to the cyclist. TAKE THE LANE
and end of story. No more, finito, ciao, hasta la vista!
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...
