My 400 HP sport/muscle car isn't envious of a folding bicycle.


Well, some day I invite to a Triathlon where one of the events is to
take the vehicle in the subway.


No subways where I live, and even there were, I don't care for public
transportation. I prefer not being at the mercy of bus/subway schedule.


Good, and we're spending a trillion dollars to make sure that the oil
necessary for ****heads like you remains available.


****heads like me? Care to elaborate or is your argument simply limited
to name calling?


People that drive vehicles with a decimal order of magnitude more
power than they need to move their butts with fossil fuels, because
they haven't learned to use public transportation and refuse to ride a
bicycle to move their butts using their butts. Is that elaborate
enough for you?

And just to be precise, the war in Iraq cost a billion dollars a DAY
for 6 years, do the math. That doesn't even begin to tackle the cost
of the war in Afghanistan, and both of those wars were "off-budget"
items during the Bush administration, roughly $3 trillion added to the
deficit that wasn't even counted until 2008.



Because public transportation is everywhere, right. Where I live there
are no buses, no subways, no bike lanes. It would suicidal and
inefficient time-wise to bike to work. So consequently I drive
everywhere, and I might as well enjoy myself when I do it. If you really
want to get into semantics, it could be considered decedent and
unnecessary to ride a bike with 20 in or larger wheels or more than one
gear, because everyone should be able to peddle a fixed gear bike up a
steep hill and if you can't you're a "****head".
