Previously, I've expressed a certain skepticism about another RBT

Here's an utterly devastating reply to my mistaken disbelief:

Yikes! Such SUV's may be useful somewhere, but a Colorado rancher once
told me that trucks with tires like that end up floating downstream
instead of getting across the creek.

I'm unfamiliar with the ride-single-file bicycle sign. It claims to be
an official California Vehicle Code sign, but it may not even be real:
"The real signs always list the CVC number of the cited code."

The tall yellow bicycle frame and matching pump, plus the down-tube
shifters, should make it clear who sent me the picture, which was
"taken last week on Cliff drive a bit north of Capitola CA (Santa
Cruz)."

But in case the photographer's identity is stil unclear, the subject
line of the email with the picture was "Drive truck!"



No more squabbling from me about big black SUV's--you can roll a
bicycle with a normal-size frame under that thing!

It's clear that this is a RealSeel (tm) bicycle frame. An aluminum or
carbon fiber top tube and bottom bracket would be totally inadequate
for the indicated use as steps up into the truck.
