Vigilante is not the same as vigilant. Bono (what a _great_ name for
a lawyer!) did not take the law into his own hands, he stopped the guy

how this plays out. The injured party obviously has a helluva good

Many people think shit of the cyclists (perhaps associating us with

Is that why people avoid *you*? Or is it because you are an ape?

We are waiting for the Planet of the Apes, right?

Two answers in one, to Papa Tom and to Tom Sherman.
I lived three and a half years on Campus in Stony Brook, N.Y.,
essentially with only my ('10-speed') bicycle as means of
transportation, summer and winter as well. .
Only a week after I got to Suffolk I had taken the LLR train to the
shop in Jamaica, to buy and ride it all the way back on 25A.
