(remember that project of the VW?)

Just thinking about that successful project of the VW, supposed a true
pro-bike revolutionary government (that stops that cheap competition
from communist China) comes to power and wants to build a bike for the
masses...
OK, this is what is what it would look like...
1- Aluminum frame (rust free to take the weather)
2- No derailleur (it sounds like French and it would be less
complicated)
3- Single speed (for greater workout, which leads to healthy masses)
4- Union made (for greater mass participation)
5- Recycled from SUVs (to show there's no more room for junk)...
So what do you think of the VB project, and would you buy one?

What about the wolves who don't wear sheeps clothing, run with the
sheep and wolves and manipulate both to their will??? No clue (why am
I not surprised) Those wolves are called alpha wolves and there are

Well isn't that a given? I thought everyone, even those without wolves

That Joe may be for McCain, but Joe the Cyclist must be for Obama.
Statistically speaking at least.
How many sensible bicycle riders could be voting for McCain when all
he promises is "more drilling"? Obama too but he got the drill from
McCain. |

Sure, go ahead and build your own roads. Use the huge surplus from the
otherwise untapped bicycle road use taxes. The Feds can't fund it, because
bicycles have no interstate commerce value. State, county, and

Bicycles may not be necessary in a system built around waste, but that
doesn't make the bicycle something to be dismissed. Maybe the system
is...

is necessarily the test of prowess, and wastefulness the sole
criterion of power." -Upton Sinclair, book 'The Jungle' |
