Traveling on foot is not as wise as riding a bike. The bike lightens
your loads and multiplies your effective distance. Without a bike you
are an idiot with no particular place to go. If you are barefoot, you
may be considered as dangerous as Martin in the hood. Or you may be
considered a harmless hobo.

I haven't been shot either. I have been harassed and honked at, but
not shot.

They hate the cyclist but they don't need to shoot. All they got to do
is run him over.

I have another Utopian dream:
Police cars will have a solar panel on the roof to run the gadgets and
an electric battery to boot. They may not be part of the solution, but
they won't be part of the problem either. They can be sitting in the
police car as long as they want.

He may be in the revolution, he may not.

Even more if you rode a bike.

The one that knows pretends everything is good. Nobody questions
things they think are part of the status quo. They see cops sitting
there and they keep going about their business.

True, but to have an SUV, a large house and having no solar panels is
a bigger part of the problem.

True, in the end the Owl may be the only enlightened animal, but it
may be endangered too. As a matter of fact thousands of species are
endangered as we speak, even the mighty tiger.
Then the Prophet of the Jungle takes a stand and says the end is near
unless we change.
