You are all speaking out of turn, I am a cyclist from the heart, I ride over 10,000 miles a year and commute to work daily on a bike, 18.5 miles each way. I most likely ride much more often and much greater distances then most of you. The problems I have with motor vehicles are not with ford excursions or other large SUV's. The most problems I have are with mini vans, volvos, saabs and school busses, be honest now, you know I'm correct, I'm out there all the time. I have owned an excursion for almost 2 years now and have over 25,000 miles on it. It is by far the most safe, most useful vehicle on the road, I can carry 5 bikes, 5 riders with gear, all in comfort on a long trip to a greater riding destiation. I can tow my large boat and bring building materials to my home. I have never even almost hit anyone with it. I have never had it sneak out at night and look for cyclist to hunt down.
I would buy one again without a thought. Again, ride your bike, let people live and do as they wish, that's why we live and play in America. never mind complaining about all things that have nothing to do woth you. In other words, GROW UP.
