I hope it's this one...

(This is the "best place" to ride a bike in Miami, perhaps the only
one other than a few short bike lanes and mixed paths you must share
with people and dogs)

While posting on message forums can be a useful way to bring awareness
to issues, getting out and fighting it directly is the real way to
make change. Both work hand in hand (see our recent discussion on
social media whores… I mean, experts).

I repply:

I do not advice anyone to go out there ALONE and do the fight. If it
ain’t in a group, a brain spilled over the road is a terrible thing to
waste. Instead we go in groups, TAKE THE LANE, and be ready for the
WORST, even if it means dying for a cause. The media vultures are
irrelevant… They only go when there are dead bodies. WE GO
INTERNATIONAL.

Here’s some news from the jungle, where the reckless drivers often,
too often, get away with crime…

(I quote)

A mass of bicyclists stood at the crest of the Bear Cut Bridge in Key
Biscayne Sunday morning, thinking of the fellow cyclist who died
here.

Forty-four-year-old Christophe LeCanne was killed by a hit-and run
driver who police say was drunk and speeding. His co-workers say he
left behind a wife and two children.

The cyclists know next time anyone of them could lose their lives.
Some have already been hit. Several cyclists showed CBS4’s Natalia Zea
their scars and scabs after being hit by cars. The cyclists say it
happens all the time.

NOTE: Unlike Critical Mass we only take one lane and we go organized.
Share the road, not block the road.

This issue is getting hotly debated --and very entertaining-- at the
local forum...

But the mongol-american community isn’t that influential…

I reply:

Maybe anyone who’s not mongoloid and has good will can do the job.

Well, let’s be real, to fix this jungle takes some major (pun
intended) power and influence as that of a president or a kahn.

BUT THIS POST IS VERY REAL

Yeah, I would not look forward to our roads getting better. Not only
has the government decided that the roads are irrelevant, so have the
people. The Corps of Engineers did a recent study and found that the
majority of our infrastructure is about 30 years out of date. Think
about that the next time you go over one of those high flyovers. But,
any politician that tries to raise taxes to fix the roads will be
voted out of office so fast he’ll get wind-burn.

And, Miami may be bad, but look at other countries, many of them have
much worse issues. Other major cities in America are just as bad. It
is not like we have some high examples to strive towards. It is not
like it is just Miami or just America. There has to be a shift in the
mindset of the entire populace, not just one little city, to do
something about the issue.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE ARE WASTING OUR TIME 'TAMING A CITY'... WE MUST
TAME THE JUNGLE!

Our allies from all the seven seas report about their latest European
adventures. Is it a jungle there too? We shall know shortly…

We just completed a 12900 km tour around Europe, from Paris to Paris,
passing all the seas.

Wow, trying that in America would be like going to Afghanistan and
coming back alive!

Hey, do you still feel discriminated against, under attack from
predatory drivers? Do you feel the lion (government) is indifferent to
your fate?
