These are the underlying principles of the Bike Revolution

If you don't like it... get another revolution or vote for the status
quo!

Ayn Rand was paranoid. Nothing more similar to communism than
corporate capitalism, as demonstrated in USA-China relations.
There are two powerful forces acting on nature: COMPETITION (she's
partially right) and COOPERATION... which comes in the form of
SOCIALISM (bureaucratic) or INDIVIDUAL ACTION (riding a bike).
I prefer the latter, but other forces must be at play too. We still
need the good public transportation provided by SOCIALISM.
This is "no good"...
"In a society dominated by the fact of commercial competition, money
is necessarily the test of prowess, and wastefulness the sole
criterion of power." -Upton Sinclair, book 'The Jungle'

I get the hint: It's convenient for them to lie!
I'd like to see a cyclist make up the same lie, though some are really
into the sport of it, not the moral high ground.

I know letting go of the LION'S SHARE sounds scary to you, but such
privilege is not that good as we are dying of OBESITY and BOREDOM
while they are dying of hunger and disease.

If you were a good honest Christian, you could have told God: "Damn
it, you didn't take me last night so I could join you."
A wise man --who has the Wisdom of the Jungle-- would lie in a
hammock, enjoying the singing birds and learning from them. He would
then address them, "Hey you, Free Spirits of the Jungle, thank for
brightening my day."
Then he would go and ride a bicycle around his community to burn the
calories --if possible, in this Christian world designed for cars.
