Just 'cuz some critique of hyper-individualized internal combustion is/was class biased dosen't mean such critique always is/will be. Here in Cbba there used to be legions of bikers going to work every am -- looked like one of those Natl. Geo. fotos of urban China in the 60s. Now it's just too damn dangerous; most folks are the worst for it; many lament the passing of the old days; buying a car is *way* out of the question.
Tho' since we're coming clean, I should probabaly admit I have a bike AND a car ... in fact one of those 4 wheel drives Doug hates, tho' not a suburban assualt vehicle, just a Daihatsu, a poor cousin of the Toyota. I guess I could justify the extra traction and clearance with dire acounts of unpaved roads, etc.
But lemme tell you about my really cool bike ....
Clean enough?
