That's because they don't burn oil - any journey accomplished without
buning oil is subversive and un-American. If the last year has taught

administration. America is an oiligarchy now!

Bike commuters ride on the road, not bike paths. The only ones who'll
suffer are rollerbladers and dog walkers.
