OK, let's be honest, the CAMPAIGN BIKE FOR PEACE is not going to cut
it. More people masturbate than ride a bike, perhaps because it's
safer. So this other campaign is becoming very popular...

You know, I just named the official song of the campaign:

***OFFICIAL SONG OF THE CAMPAIGN: LIBERTANGO***

POWERFUL, LIBERATING, SEXY...

***

Other liberating campaigns are also growing fast. I hope you enjoyed
the music.

Meaningless waffle.

Wrong, as always.

And get run over and squashed flat.

Actually I don't particularly like bureaucrats unless they solve a
problem, and more often than not, they are the problem!

Public transportation requires one, but launching a bike doesn't. I
think the cyclist is very symbol of anarchism, while the SUV
represents Libertarianism.

We should junk the SUV, tame traffic, create a good public
transportation system and proceed to open the roads for all vehicles
to share.

Mao was wrong but the current communist government is even more wrong
in trying to put the Chinese to imitate the American lifestyle. That's
the greatest ecological disaster awaiting us.

Just because your traffic is as bad that we all playing a Russian
Roulette on it.

I assume you are American because you are obviously totally nuts. I
note that the US has a very low rate of cycling, but a very high
cycling death rate. I hate to quote <cyclehelmets.org>, but:

Must be due to all those huge SUVs you have over there.
