Thank you - usually I try and other times I do not. This morning I did
not. :)

Seriously, why did you post this powderkeg in a news group dedicated to
the repair and maintenance of Hondas?
It is like posting recipes of how to cook meat in a vegetarian group -
that would make no sense either.

I don't think it is a bad idea to take the bike to work, walk more, use
the car less, etc. My reply was not a reflection of how I feel about
that subject, more on the what and how you posted.
Flaming is a proud internet tradition, so expect it if you go off topic
without stating "OT:" in the subject line.
Also, the way you come across in your original message reminds me of
the "south park" hybrid vehicle episode - watch it and see if you can
find yourself.

Profound statement, Remco.  I'll leave it at that, and refrain from any
other reply.

hippy!! :)

See?? Dont' you guys feel better getting this random rambling off your
chest?

As for the guy that started the thread: get a haircut, you stinkfoot
hippy!! :)

If governments weren't obsessed with outlawing private companies from
offering mass transit, and weren't so obsessed with legislating transit
monopolies for themselves, we might see more mass transit so you wouldn't
spill your drink.

A couple of years ago we had an example of this bizarre government mindset
at work in my community. As a result, we still have no mass transit of any
kind.

HUH? Ok here goes my random babbling:

In my family we have three coffee drinkers. When the kids were younger
I was the only one but they started as they got older (one is a Junior
in HS and one is just out of college). I pick up a cup of coffee on my
way home and drink it with a straw because the roads have many potholes
in them and don't like to get coffee on my clothes. My commute is 7
miles.

If I lived in a large city with mass transit, I might bring a thermos
with me so I can refill my cup while commuting.

(I always wanted to get that off my chest and since we're telling
random stories, this seemed like a good time to do it :)

In my family, we have one car for 4 licensed drivers.  We brought up our
children cycling, and now that they're older (one is a Junior in
High School and the other is a Freshman in college), they have continued
the good habit.  I commute by bicycle to work year round, regardless of
weather, unless the roads are treacherous.  My commute is 8 miles.

Nowadays, if I lived in a large city with mass transit, I would combine
mass transit with a nice folding bicycle.
