Even China is abandoning bicycles.....

This story from the Sierra Club details how the Chinese are forcing people
to abandon bicycles in favor of cars just like the U.S. did years ago.

It goes to show how dumb governments can be.............

Someday we'll all use bicycles to travel on but that time is still distant.
