   (Here we got two posts in "tandem." Tandem is also a two people bike   
   where you can share with your partner --not possible where bike lanes   
   make you go in line, so may have lost your partner behind you. That's   
   why it makes so much sense to TAKE THE LANE, and let traffic go around   
   you. They have their space, you need yours. Remember, this is a   
   struggle for space)

   Maybe. When the killing becomes pandemic the revolution the lion will   
   be exposed. Then he would try to fix his image and stop the killing.   
      
   At this point they should ban cycling altogether instead of people   
   struggle so much with it. They should do like the Taliban and confess   
   that they are strict about their Sacred Laws of Capitalism.

   Not necessarily. Your gated communities are very boring and have no   
   space. You too live in the cage, thought it may be golden. But the   
   rich somehow accommodate themselves to living in such safe havens.

   And very unsafe to others. An SUV is unsafe to others.

   Good. Now we have an opponent. But think about it. Communists went   
   along with the changes when liberation came to Eastern Europe. All   
   resistance is futile.
