All that changing and showering is bothersome.  That's why
I don't ride a bike or anything - I sleep in my clothes and
drive to work - no need to bother with showering or changing!

I couldn't agree more with your sarcasim.  After all,
this *is* America and it is our God-given right,
our duty even, to resist any force presented as good.

I'm not sure if I would go that far.  Middlefield road
gets wasted with bike lanes (one on each side!) between
Oregon and University.  I'm sure at least one extra car lane
could be squeezed in, if not two.  And I sure as hell am not
going to pay for bike lanes - after all, do we make the bikers
pay for our roads?

That does it!  You need to quite whimpering and remember
that again, it is your right to own and drive cars.
And get rid of that bicycle - I hear they are dangerous!
