The Beach Cruiser Philosophy
His Highness the TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser Philosopher
I'd imagine Hell to be a place for cyclists that must endure endless
traffic along honking horns, noise, rage and insults.
Hey, you don't need to be. You can find a beach somewhere and ride
your beach cruiser for hours on end with nothing but the shining sun
or stars and exchange smiles with friendly riders. I'm not promoting
flirting but that can happen too.
Notice that moving SLOWLY on a beach cruiser gives you the right
balance of COMFORT and RELAXATION. A beautiful unique cruiser is a
must. Only a good philosophy of life, the opposite of "life is a
bitch," can be created under under those idyllic conditions. Yes,
LIFE'S A BEACH, or at least it's in your hands to make it happen.
AVOID HELL AT ALL COSTS!

And BIPEDAL to boot. Clearly all the evidence we need.
Oh, this definitely proves that God didn't invent the wheel.

I have reasons to believe God hates bicycles because man is
independent from his will and he can pedal himself.
I see this church's parking lot that says: "NO PEDESTRIANS,
MOTORCYCLES OR BICYCLES."
Of course, they charge for admission.

The case is that American advocates can pick between the Japanese
model, the Dutch model or something else.
Actually I favor something else: TAKE THE LANE FOR SERIOUS BICYCLING,
LET THE CARS WORRY ABOUT YOU. Automatic blame is placed on driver
until proven otherwise. Notice, NO INVESTMENT IN STUPID
INFRASTRUCTURE.
On the other hand slow beach cruisers and folding bikes can be OK on
sidewalks. Haven't the clever Japanese found out that the folding
bikes don't need parking lots. Well, the Dutch haven't found out that
they are the best solution for theft, a big problem in the
Netherlands.
