Yeah Mark he should have said Catholics while referring
to the pope like that. You are absolutely right.

That being said he is right on regarding his charge
that the stupid christian mother****ers will kill
anyone not just like them for a buck and a shot at a
seat at the jezus banquet in heaven and a chance to
take the rapture elevator to the show.

**** all christians like Rome did. Throw you to the
lions you murdering bastards.

Sorry, it is true. I ordered it with the 5 speed Tremec and a 2.73 rear
end gear so at 55 MPH it got 33 MPG and about1,400 RPM. That is the same
way I got 38 MPG from a flathead 6 in my 1961 rambler. In both cases I
had to down shift to get any real passing power but I wasn't blowing my
gas just to make pistons go up and down. RPM is why cars don't get any
better mileage. Every Joe Consumer wants his power without down shifting
so not a single manufacturer offers that extra high gear. Both my Mazda
and my daughter's Kia do over 2,000 RPM at highway speeds. New cars are
coming with almost universal front wheel drive so there is no longer the
choice of changing the gears for economy. The only cars offering rear
wheel drive are the Mustang, Viper, Corvette, and the large Ford cars
like the Lincoln, Mercury Marquis and a limited few others.
Sad state of affairs but there you have it.

My thoughts exactly, although I might have toned it down a tad.

I rode for years on U.S. 50 in Kansas where the double trailer semis
pass a whole hell of a lot closer than on the typical Interstate that
is built to a completely different standard. The Interstates that I
have ridden a bike (some legal, some not), you can get far enough away
from the traffic that the impact of the cars and trucks moving at a
reasonable speed isn't that bad.

If I had my choice between riding on the typical Interstate with wide
shoulders and long sight lines and the typical U.S. highway with less
of both, I'll go with the Interstate.

I have no patients left for christian traitors hell
bent on destroying the earth so they can prompt
Armageddon along.

Someone needs to start putting these *******s down in
the mega-churches where they worship and give them an
early send off for the jexus banquet in the sky. Maybe
then we can have some peace here on earth.

So long as the murdering christian warmongers give
support to people like bu$h , chenney and the cabal of
war criminals in Washington they deserve the same
traitors reward as the war criminals at the top of
their heap.

Right or wrong on the part of the OP, you whiffed on the meaning.
Posting a sign making bicycles illegal doesn't mean that the bridge or
road was unfriendly, or even hazardous. Conversely, a bridge could be
more hazardous than a posted bridge, yet still permit bicycles
(expansion joints and stretches of slippery metal covers come to
mind). That would not mean the posted bridge was more unfriendly than
the unposted one.

And frankly, after your patently bike unfriendly comments earlier in
the threads, that you find a stretch of highway to be bike unfriendly
doesn't carry much weight IMO. I'm no bike commuter hero, but I've
ridden between Jersey barriers in heavy traffic on 50 mph roadways if
that was what it took to get where I was going. The motor traffic
deals with it, surprising as that may be to you. That it may not make
their day is not really my problem.

I think there's such a thing as an unfriendly society, an unfriendly
president and an unfriendly road. They all conpire to make you, the
cyclist wanting to do the right thing, a Quixote of sorts, without
having the benefit of somene writing your story for generations to
come. The arms of the windmills can crush your dreams in your first
adventure.

I'm a fairly regular multi-modal commuter, often using a bus assist for 5 -
10 miles of my 15 or 16 mile commute, depending on weather, lateness,
fatigue and a host of other factors. I ride the whole way, back and forth
during the best conditions of the summer. This time of year, when it's
sloppy wet, or there's ice through the swamp, I'm just as happy to load it
on a bus. For me, if there were no rack, it's likely that I would be not
using a bike at all, and driving
to/from the park and ride.

Every bus in our area has a rack. Since I chat some with cyclists waiting
for buses, I have a sense of who's out there doing this. There's some folks
like me, middle class folks who ride because they like to, but live further
from work than they want to ride every day. A few recreational riders,
taking the bus out somewhere, and then riding home. And then there's another
sizable number who don't own cars, and are extending the reach of the bus
system. If you're a service worker on a swing shift working in the far-flung
suburbs, you can take a commuter-hour bus to work, but you'll have to pedal
home, as there'll be no buses at midnight.
