It does make you wonder how a nation that can come up with figure 8 racing can put a man on the moon. Makes their gun laws look rational.

Especially the North Carolina ones that permit open carriage, no licence requirement and no checks on purchasers.

Interesting to note the chickens who "give way" (e.g. the green one) and others that just turn left out of the intersection.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
