Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Let's see I got this back during the Gulf War. Did it do any good? I think not. Sorry to be such a poop, but let's just get the bikes out or better yet ride with Sue Aberle in her hybrid car!! Better yet check out the Air Car!!! Even comes in a van version. www.theaircar.com Shari - courtney Linclau RawSeattle Saturday, May 15, 2004 1:39 PM [RawSeattle] MAY 19.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Courtney, I'm all in favor, I was planning on riding my bike because it's bike-to-work week. This is no mean feat since my ride is about 25-40 miles each way through WV hills. I generally carpool (and as far as I know I'm the only one that does). In this area where growth is rapid driving takes a toll on more than just oil and pollution. There have been frequent days where the freeway is completely shutdown by accidents. Our kids theatre group lost a mom last week in a fatal collision. This may not be the forum for transportation but I believe that automobiles are the greatest threat to health and life for someone who is physically healthy and well-nourished. As far as less-polluting cars, (eg www.theaircar.com) these are only a partial solution. We should still demand mass transit where appropriate and make the best use of it. Otherwise there will soon be no land left to grow food if we continue at the current rate of roadbuilding. We will also be spending all of our money on road repair since gas taxes are primarily used to fund new road construction and aren't high enough to cover the cost of maintenance.
