=v= As if SUVs aren't bad enough to deal with on our roads, Ford
has to inflict its insecurities on the rest of us with The
Largest SUV Ever.  Then again, there's all their eco-greenwashed
stuff about car part recycling and their line of quietly dropped
"eco-" automobiles.

=v= So they try to get kudos for sponsoring a trail.  I'm very
unimpressed.  To Hell with 'em.

Let 'em ride a bike like me, would do me and them and everybody
a world of good.  Cleanse our city's air, reinvigorate the
blood, tone up the muscles, strengthen the heart, burn up that
surplus fat, stave off arteriosclerosis, cut down on bypass
operations, eliminate transplants, lower the cholesterol count,
prolong lives.  Yes and reduce oil consumption, slow down the
waste of steel and rubber and copper and glass, free human labor
and engineering skills for important work -- anything bad for
the auto industry and bad for the oil industry is bound to be
good for America, good for human beings, good for the land.
