On a tangent... a section of freeway is being built near my house. It's not open yet. It's going to replace a pitiful stretch of 2-lane blacktop that's carrying way more traffic than it was designed to. So sometimes I take my bike onto the new freeway and ride on it, looking down at the motorists jammed into their narrow, substandard car ghetto, and I think hey, why not keep it like this?
