    I'd like to handcuff you and force you to dress like a clown.

    It was just too easy to turn it into reality.

    2003 Bicycles

    the only waste gas produced by a 2003 model bicycle is methane which is a byproduct of digestion to fuel the human that powers the bicycle,and the human benefits from the physical activity.Who cares about cars,they are just a status symbol,I have an old subaru station wagon,and thats only for running to the store cuz I live in the county,if there was a store here I would sell it,I worked across the street until a month ago,when I got layed off,I dread having to drive to work again.

    Same situation.

    12 miles to the village and the weather can be a bummer in Western N.Y.

    I sold my SUV and purchased a Toyota Prius about 6 months ago. I like to think for myself and decided that taking personal action was more meaningful than discussion.
    I'm an engineer, and from an engineer's perspective, the Prius is an excellent bit of work. Although it uses an internal cumbustion engine, it is a significant and realistic technological leap in the direction personal transportation needs to go. What is most interesting about the vehicle is the approach the design takes to reduce emissions. Although the car is a hybrid, it is engineered to operate automatically in whatever fashion is needed to minimize emissions. I've had 10,000 problem free miles so far and commute 42 miles a day on less than a gallon of gas.
    What have you chosen to drive?

    At one time, mid-'50's, a four passenger Fiat 'Bianchini' (600 cc. 22.8 hp.
    rear-engine water cooled in-line four). Best part was that when I got
    under 40 mpg I knew it was time for a tune-up. One time got 54 mpg
    on a run from Michigan to W.NY via Canada with wife, kid, and German
    Shephard aboard ... And a really decent tail-wind.
